The company is the first of its kind in providing standardized education and certifications in eCommerce that can be delivered at scale to the market, and in delivering supportive, hands-on managed communities to empower eCommerce professionals to drive success.

“Until now, the lack of strategic industry-level, role-specific competency training and validation has created headwinds in hiring and developing talent in the highly competitive eCommerce space,” says Jason Goldberg, Chief Commerce Strategy Officer at Publicis Groupe, a global creative agency operating in 84 countries. “Ecommerce upskilling and skills verification will be critical for talent retention, the creation of effective business growth strategies, and overall organizational success.”
