Akamai Wins Brandon Hall Gold Award in Extended Enterprise Learning
Akamai Global Services recently received top honors for the design and execution of its Advanced Partner Enablement Program for Solutions Architects, delivered by the Akamai Technical Enablement and Education team in collaboration with Services Subject Matter Experts. The program won the 2022 Gold Award for the Best Advance in Creating an Extended Enterprise Learning Program.
This is the third consecutive Gold Award for the Akamai Technical Enablement and Education team from the Brandon Hall Group’s Human Capital Excellence Award program. The first win was in 2020 for Best Use of Blended Learning and the second win was in 2021 for Best Customer Training Program.
Valued by (and valuable to) customers, partners, and employees
Says Andrew Heifetz, Director of Akamai’s Global Technical Enablement and Education, “Such year-to-year industry recognition of our learning program development and delivery provides critical validation that learning engagements developed by Akamai Global Services Technical Enablement and Education are both highly valued by and valuable to Akamai customers, partners, and technical employees.”
Expanding strategies with product and professional certification
The Akamai Partner Enablement Program for Solution Architects was created in 2020 to provide self-paced product elearning and certification that credibly enables the Akamai Partners in the expansion of their go-to-market strategy for Akamai product services and support.
The Akamai Partner Enablement Program aims to significantly reduce channel partner product integration dependence on Global Services Solutions Architects. Each elearning course is offered with optional expert-led live engagements, as well as post-certification product integration and configuration mentoring opportunities.
“Such year-to-year industry recognition of our learning program development and delivery provides critical validation that learning engagements developed by Akamai Global Services Technical Enablement and Education are both highly valued by and valuable to Akamai customers, partners, and technical employees.”
