Research and advisory firm Info-Tech Research Group has introduced LEVEL-UP, a series of half-day, on-site training sessions that are free to IT professionals. Topics covered in the training series, which the company says build on its LIVE and IGNITE events, include artificial intelligence (AI) architecture, cybersecurity incident response, and information technology (IT) leadership.
“The LEVEL-UP Series is designed to close critical skill gaps for IT teams in a fast-changing technology environment,” Info-Tech Research Group’s Chief Research Officer Gord Harrison said in a press release.
“These half-day training sessions will give IT professionals tangible tools and strategies to strengthen their organizations while advancing their own development. It’s a powerful way to help Info-Tech’s members move from strategy to execution.”

The new SCTE/CSU Global program is being touted as the first asynchronous program for broadband training.
