Sydney-headquartered IT training firm Lumify Group will offer its products and services to Australian Computer Society (ACS) members as part of a partnership between the two organisations.
ACS said the collaboration "seeks to fill the immediate gap in skilled IT professionals" and upskill IT talent at all levels to navigate challenges posed by cybersecurity threats and AI.
Lumify resources will be available through the ACS member portal at a discounted rate, while students studying nationally accredited courses through Lumify Learn will receive free ACS membership.
“Our commitment to cultivating future tech capabilities aligns perfectly with ACS’s mission of nurturing a thriving tech ecosystem," Jon Lang, CEO of Lumify Group.
"With ACS’s members spanning across every industry relying on IT, including business, government, and education, we have a unique opportunity to foster a best-in-class generation of IT professionals who will drive innovation and progress in their respective industries and throughout Australia.”
The partnership comes after Lumify acquired Adobe specialist City Desktop Training in October 2023.
“ACS is thrilled to partner with Lumify to introduce new learning and development opportunities for ACS members," ACS CEO Josh Griggs said.
"The ACS Digital Pulse report 2023 highlights the necessity for 1.3 million additional skills by 2030, and collaborations like this are instrumental in closing the gap.”
“Together, Lumify Group and ACS are poised to redefine the standards of tech professional development and education, empowering individuals to realise their full potential and contribute meaningfully to Australia’s tech-driven economy.”
