Get to know Red Hat Learning Subscription with a 14-day trial

According to the 2023 Global Tech outlook, skill and talent gaps remain a top digital transformation barrier for organizations. Retaining, upskilling and scaling for the future involves promoting continuous learning by offering training and development opportunities to expand your team's skills, knowledge and competencies.

Technical proficiency is critical to your organization’s efforts to reduce the gap between the rapid influx of new technologies and being able to effectively implement them to meet business goals. Getting full value from new technologies requires strong commitment, self motivation, effective time management, organizational support and the right skills. Developing and maintaining technical proficiency requires a blended approach to training that combines online learning platforms, collaborative knowledge sharing and practical exercises.

Online learning platforms, such as Red Hat Learning Subscription, offer technical professionals guided paths to achieve and maintain mastery of technology and process skills. Learning platforms generally provide a flexible way to acquire new skills while improving knowledge retention by linking continuous learning closely to practical application with hands-on labs. The best platforms support a personalized learning experience to help your organization remain competitive and attract new employees.

It is important to assess online learning platforms by identifying whether they offer the content and learning characteristics necessary for your success. To be effective, the platforms must be capable of supplying the right content at the right time, available in the format and device the user prefers. 

Organizations need to be confident that they have knowledgeable teams learning relevant skills from top experts. Red Hat Learning Subscription helps teams maintain skills and gain knowledge about emerging technologies, providing access to training on the entire portfolio of Red Hat products and technologies. The platform allows learners to take live courses, access video instruction, download ebooks, practice in cloud-based labs, prepare for certification and more—all at their own pace. The content is created and updated by Red Hat experts, providing the latest and most effective content for learning.

Skills paths

Red Hat Learning Subscription also offers skills paths designed to provide a roadmap to a specific learning goal. Each skills path is unique to selected product sets or the learner's skill set.
