Project Summary: Akamai Technologies

Akamai Technical Academy (ATA) is a program that provides opportunities for people to pursue a technical career without coming from a traditional technical background. Akamai partnered with TTA to deliver these classes globally. This transformational program provides participants foundational technical training, soft skills and Akamai business knowledge to prepare them for early-career roles at Akamai. Recently, TTA helped Akamai evolve ATA from solely in-person ILT classes to a hybrid model of in-person and VILT classes in an effort to allow Akamai to scale and deliver the program in new sites in the future. This initiative won a 2020 Brandon Hall Silver Award for Excellence in Competencies and Skill Development.
