Technology Training to Grow Your Team’s Tech Skills

What is technology training?

Technology training for your company’s team means upleveling your current employees’ tech skills. Maybe your employees need to brush up on the latest coding language or enhance their data science skills by learning Python. 

Technology training programs allow you to do that — uplevel your current employees to grow your team rather than hiring new employees or contractors to fill these roles and skills. 

It used to be that self-teaching was enough. But formal technology training for enterprise differs from self-teaching in its methodology. Sure, employees can explore a software program or programming language on their own, but mastering the technology often requires an instructor or guide to teach complex functions, necessary tools, best practices, and more, plus practical applications to cement conceptual learnings, and tie them to business applications. 

What types of technology training are out there?

A marketing firm is no longer strictly a marketing firm. It needs to constantly collect and analyze massive amounts of data, both general and user-specific. It also needs to protect this data, and other digital assets, from hacks and leaks. The marketing firm needs workers with technology skills to handle these tasks.

‌It’s safe to say modern businesses need technology and skilled tech individuals to accomplish their goals. Workforce development through technology training is key to cultivating a successful business. Flatiron School offers several types of technology training to create a custom curriculum for your team.

Being a software engineer requires more than knowing how to code or build a web app. Students of Flatiron Schools’ Software Engineering corporate training learn to think, and build, like software engineers. Our immersive software engineering training starts from scratch, making it beginner-friendly. But we also know that practitioners of all levels often need to skill up — that’s why our body of curriculum includes intermediate and advanced modules, too.

In each curriculum module, students develop key skills through interactive labs, lectures, and close collaboration, showcasing progress and applying new skills through projects. We carefully design our curriculum to prepare students to both understand their software tools and ecosystem, and deliver meaningful contributions in a business environment following training. 

Whether or not your company’s employees have a solid background in software engineering, corporate training can help your team learn the skills that will boost your business. 

Our Software Engineering corporate training programs have included topics like: 

• Programming fundamentals
• Object-oriented programming
• Databases and object relational mappers
• Web programming
• Front-end frameworks
• APIs

Our team regularly works with technical and HR stakeholders to learn about and create the right coding training for partners, depending on their current team and business needs.

Data science

Data science is an essential requirement for any modern business. Though the field used to be restricted to statistics and scientific research, most companies now need a way to analyze the data that they generate from the web and their activities.

Without data science, this information stays stuck, without a story to tell or insights to share. In order to determine business goals, more and more companies are looking to data scientists to fill in the gaps and find opportunities never before considered.

Data science combines industry expertise and programming skills with mathematics, allowing companies to extract valuable insights from big data. 

Flatiron School’s corporate data science training often includes topics like: 

• Data analysis and engineering
• Scientific computing and quantitative models
• Machine learning

Because each company’s needs can be different, Flatiron School’s team will work with you to hone in on your data science training needs, and design a program that gets the skill outcomes your business needs.  

Cybersecurity engineering

Cybersecurity engineers are responsible for identifying and predicting threats and vulnerabilities within your company’s systems and data. They then develop a comprehensive security plan that guards entryways and protects against data breaches.

This relatively new, exploding industry is on a mission to secure a world that suddenly finds itself running on the Internet. Forward-thinking organizations understand that cybersecurity is constantly changing, and their workforce — from cybersecurity professionals to anyone handling data and customer information — need cybersecurity upskilling to keep their information safe. 

Our cybersecurity corporate training programs can include topics such as: 

• Network security
• Systems security
• Cyber threat intelligence
• Governance, Risk and Compliance (GRC)
• Logs and detection
• Application security and penetration testing
