HowNow & Pluralsight partner to boost digital skills learning
HowNow has formed a strategic partnership with Pluralsight to enhance access to technology-focused upskilling resources for organisations and individuals.
The partnership brings together HowNow's AI-powered learning and upskilling platform with Pluralsight's technology skills development resources. The integration enables HowNow customers to access Pluralsight's suite of expert-led content, covering areas such as software development, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data science, machine learning, security, and IT operations.
Pluralsight offers an extensive library that includes over 6,500 courses, 3,500 hands-on labs, 500 skill assessments, and 150 certification paths. This content is now available to subscribing users directly within the HowNow platform, providing seamless access to sector-specific learning opportunities targeted at building critical technology capabilities.
Integration and skill development
Through the integration, organisations using HowNow can empower their employees to develop new skills and address evolving business needs. The aim is to bridge skills gaps in technology teams, a challenge faced by many businesses as digital transformation accelerates and the demands on technical knowledge increase.
HowNow states that the content will be made available in the context of users' day-to-day work, ensuring learning is both personalised and delivered in a timely manner. By embedding development opportunities into the flow of work, both companies aim to promote continuous learning as a core part of business strategy.
Comments from leadership
HowNow's Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer, Nelson Sivalingam, outlined the intent behind the collaboration. He pointed to the rapid change in technology knowledge and highlighted the necessity for ongoing learning to maintain competitiveness.
"Knowledge is changing at an exponential rate in the technology sector and many teams are grappling with growing skills gaps. To keep pace in this environment, organisations need to embrace continuous learning and upskilling as a strategic imperative. Our partnership with Pluralsight supports exactly this by connecting employees with the most relevant and up-to-date learning, aligned to the specific technology skills and proficiency levels that people need to develop - both now and into the future."
Pluralsight's Chief Executive Officer, Erin Gajdalo, commented on the benefits for learners and businesses seeking to advance their technical expertise and adaptability.

The two companies are positioning their partnership as a response to the increasing need for digital skills and the challenge organisations face in keeping pace with sector developments. The companies say that, by providing access to a breadth of technology learning materials in the workplace context, they support faster skill development and adaptation to new technological trends.
Organisations using HowNow can now incorporate Pluralsight content into their internal learning environments, allowing them to address business objectives through targeted workforce upskilling programmes. The arrangement is intended to help technology teams build capability in areas aligned with current and emerging business requirements.
