Revolent and Snowflake have joined forces to address the growing gap in data engineering skills and to equip global corporations with the necessary expertise for the Snowflake Data Cloud. The digital skills gap in the technology sector has expanded over the past year, prompting this partnership as a proactive response.
As part of this collaboration, Revolent, a Tenth Revolution Group enterprise, will leverage Snowflake’s data engineering training materials to establish a Data Engineer talent program. This initiative aims to alleviate data engineer skill shortages for Snowflake’s partners and unlock the potential of global data using the Snowflake Data Cloud.
The CEO of Revolent, Ian Clark, highlighted the primary objectives of the partnership, focusing on empowering global organizations by providing specialized talent through their talent program. The goal is to enable these organizations to enhance data insights, meet Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and successfully implement and manage Snowflake’s unified platform.
Clark emphasized, “Our talent programme aims to empower organisations across the globe to gain better data insights and achieve their KPIs with specialist talent who can successfully implement and manage their instance of Snowflake’s unified platform.”
Revolent’s curriculum ensures participants receive hands-on data application lessons, covering areas such as data orchestration, data governance, and data modeling, along with extensive consultancy training. This approach aims to produce specialists who are ready for delivery from day one.
The collaboration gains significance from Snowflake’s substantial customer growth in 2023, leading to increased demand for Snowflake experts. Tyler Prince, SVP of Worldwide Alliances and Channels at Snowflake, expressed optimism about the partnership, stating that Revolent’s ability to attract and develop talent with in-demand skills will benefit joint customers in maximizing the value derived from the Data Cloud.
Revolent’s programs, including the Snowflake Data Engineer curriculum, not only attract and nurture talent but also cross-train existing technology professionals, known as ‘Revols,’ to become certified experts. This approach aids in building sustainable and diverse talent pipelines for clients by recruiting, training, and placing experienced IT professionals as business-ready cloud specialists.
In addition to their technology training initiatives, Revolent and Snowflake are committed to developing and fostering new talent within their ecosystem, further underscoring the strategic importance of this partnership.
