What is pluralite?
Pluralsight is an online learning platform that educates individuals and companies in technology skills through video training. The platform is for those who want to change careers or teach businesses in the workforce how to become more tech-savvy.
If you want to learn how to be anything from a software developer to an IT administrator, this course might be for you. The classes are accompanied by official certificates of the skills you learn in the courses.
Online courses range from beginner to advanced classes and take a hands-on, project-based approach rather than the more theoretical approach you would find in a regular academic classroom.

Here are the themes offered by Pluralsight:
- Architecture and construction
- business professional
- creative professional
- data scientist
- IT operations
- Production and design
- Information and cybersecurity
- Software development
- Web development
After a week, you can choose a plan if you decide to continue with the courses. A person’s basic Skills plan starts at $29 per month and includes limited access to their library.
The tech industry has grown over the years and their workforce has highly in-demand skills that tend to pay well. This can be a good way to take a free dip into the industry this week to see if it’s right for you.
