QA, the leader in IT and business skills training, has acquired NETbuilder Academy, which provides organisations with STEM-graduate consultants and the capability to deliver programmes and projects in the ever changing Digital world
The combination of The NETbuilder Academy and QA will provide a unique solution to the ‘digital talent gap’ experienced by many companies and public sector organisations as it brings together QA’s technical training expertise with NETbuilder’s established graduate gateway programme.
William Macpherson, Chief Executive of QA said: “We are very pleased to bring the NETbuilder Academy capabilities and expertise into our business, combining QA’s Gateway programme with the industry specialist leader, The NETbuilder Academy. This exciting opportunity will enhance our provision of innovative resource solutions for our customers when talent is scarce.”
