Company Background

A leading global technology services company launched an internal mobility initiative as part of a broader plan to modernize its workforce. The goal was to reduce reliance on external hiring by preparing existing employees to take on product-driven roles aligned with its shift from a project-based model.

Modernizing the workforce has become essential for companies aiming to stay resilient and efficient. By building capabilities internally, organizations can respond faster to changing technology needs, control hiring costs, and foster long-term employee growth. This initiative focused on reskilling teams across functions and experience levels, particularly those with limited technical backgrounds.

Training Objectives

The company needed a strategic corporate training program to support this workforce transformation to deliver real results across different experience levels and technical backgrounds.

The objective was clear: help internal teams evolve into capable tech talent by equipping them with in-demand digital skills while minimizing disruption to ongoing projects. The training needed to be tailored, accessible, and deeply aligned with the organization’s future goals.

  • Upskill existing teams in future-focused technologies like Generative AI, Full Stack, AI, and Cloud.
  • Prepare employees from non-technical backgrounds for hands-on roles in live projects.
  • Deliver training without disrupting ongoing project work and timelines.

Learning Outcomes

The initiative was successful in execution and measurable in its impact both on the learners and the business.

The training experience led to significant participation, certification achievement, and improved job readiness. It helped employees become more confident and capable in their roles, while the business gained from increased internal capability and reduced hiring costs.

  • 3,500+ employees have been upskilled through this initiative and are now actively contributing to strategic, product-driven projects.
