How your team can benefit from Codecademy

Offering Codecademy to employees has benefits for both individual team members and full organizations. Here are just a few of the ways we’re seeing teams benefit from learning with us.

Keep your team’s skills up to date

Technology constantly evolves, and new languages and tools become the norm. Just look at generative AI: ChatGPT has only been around since 2022 and it’s now an essential part of workflows across industries and domains. Finding and hiring people with AI skills is especially hard. In the 2023 Skillsoft IT Skills & Salaries Report, about 30% of participants said AI is the toughest area in tech to hire for.

We’re always adding to our robust catalog of AI paths and courses, so it’s simple to fill skills gaps and provide training opportunities in AI. Our interactive learning environment also incorporates cutting-edge AI features that make lessons intuitive and give your team hands-on experience working with AI systems as they learn.

Tailor training to fit your team’s needs

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your team’s skills in a specific framework or pick up a new concept from zero, there are Codecademy courses and paths that suit team members at every level and stage of their career. We’ve seen everything from Engineering teams using Codecademy to train developers on new languages to Analysts honing their data science skills, Marketing teams moving away from Excel, and more.

Ryan Posternak, an experienced Data Engineer Specialist at Vanguard, keeps coming back to our interactive courses to refine his programming proficiency. “Codecademy is the first online learning platform I used to learn and practice my coding skills, and I’ve continued to return to it over the years more than any other platform,” he says.

Codecademy Teams also gives you the flexibility to adjust as your team evolves. You can easily assign content and customize learning paths to work toward business objectives and track team, group, and individual progress. With analytics and reporting features, you can measure team growth and make better data-driven decisions. And you get unlimited seat reassignment, so you won’t miss a beat if your team grows or restructures.

Empower non-technical teams to learn technical skills

Technical skills are no longer just for programmers. Access to Codecademy can empower non-technical teams to learn technical skills that can help them discover more efficient ways of working and advance in their roles.

As a Product Owner, Jan Osterž has to collaborate across various departments including design, strategy, and engineering. He decided to learn coding skills to gain a deeper comprehension of the Engineering team’s daily work, goals, and priorities. “I realized that I was talking with developers daily and needed to understand what they were doing and what they were telling me,” he says. “I also needed to understand their point of view.”

An added bonus? Jan’s new knowledge helped him level up within his organization and take on additional responsibilities, like pitching in on development tasks. “I’ve managed to combine my roles, working from both the product management perspective and the development perspective,” he says.

Build confidence and encourage problem solving

We’ve seen many learners benefit from learning to code, beyond just the technical skills. Learning to code improves problem solving skills and helps prepare teams for the future. Not to mention, the process of learning new skills offers a major confidence boost.

Darrel Williams is the CTO of R&D at RizePoint, a quality management software company that created an internal career advancement track with Codecademy for Business. He’s noticed how the bespoke technical training program energizes employees and introduces growth opportunities within the organization.

“Having Codecademy and our training program excites people and actually shows them that there is a path for me in this organization, there is a place for me to grow, and I’m not going to just be stagnant in a topped-out, specific role for who knows how long,” Darrel says. “It’s giving a lot of different folks opportunities that they wouldn’t normally see in an organization.”
