Healthcare workforce turnover and measurable skills development are major issues for hospitals and care facilities in the United States, and these challenges have been further exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic. Relias enters this field with its broad range of engaging courses for training and continuing education in nursing and healthcare. The company, part of the Bertelsmann Education Group, stepped up its investments in technology and product improvements in 2021 in order to consolidate its market leadership – e.g., with digitized, cloud-based and data-driven educational offerings. Innovative and interactive online learning methods help healthcare workers, from critical care nurses in large hospital systems to home healthcare practitioners in rural areas, with the right learning served to them at the right place and time. Relias’s Learner Experience Platform enables administrators to assign customized learning paths to any learner while incorporating many training modalities that increase course completions and, ultimately, drive better patient outcomes.

The modern working world increasingly relies on technologies such as data management, cloud computing, robotics and artificial intelligence. The online education platform Udacity from Silicon Valley, in which Bertelsmann holds a significant stake, provides the requisite tech know-how. Each year, it expands its course offering in close consultation with the industry. This year, it added a nanodegree course in cybersecurity to meet the growing demand from companies and government agencies for qualified specialists in this field. Programs in Growth Product Management, Privacy Engineering, and AI Engineering and Machine Learning in partnership with Microsoft and Amazon Web Services are also available now.
