Innovorg, the only skills-building and workforce optimization platform for cloud, hosting, and data center teams, announced today that it has partnered with The International Data Center Authority (IDCA), the leader in application ecosystem standardization and education. The partnership will integrate IDCA's proven comprehensive training content, certification programs, and industry-leading standards into Innovorg's cutting-edge platform, creating a powerful solution for companies seeking to develop and optimize their technical workforce across the entire digital application ecosystem.

The collaboration focuses on creating adaptive learning experiences for Digital Infrastructure sector professionals by integrating IDCA's high-quality vendor-agnostic content and effective skill development programs into Innovorg’s master content library, which now includes both paid and public IDCA resources alongside supplementary content. Innovorg’s platform takes this further by automatically curating relevant IDCA content and helping prioritize the right learning materials based on individual skills gaps, company preferences, and goals. The platform sets targeted learning objectives, tracks engagement levels, and ensures alignment with personal development goals, creating a structured, personalized educational journey.

"We are excited to partner with IDCA to bring their world-class training content and industry standards to our platform," said Elya McCleave, CEO and Founder of Innovorg. "This collaboration will enable us to offer an unparalleled learning experience to our clients, combining IDCA's global expertise with our innovative skills development and workforce optimization tools."

Kurtis Friesen, Head of North America for IDCA, added, "Partnering with Innovorg allows us to extend our reach and impact in the industry. By leveraging Innovorg's platform, we can deliver our highly effective training content to a broader audience and help Innovorg address the critical skills shortage across the application ecosystem, including cloud, AI, blockchain, cybersecurity, IoT, big data, and data center sectors."

In addition to content delivery, Innovorg enhances learning engagement by generating AI-based quizzes and simulations that complement IDCA’s material as needed, reinforcing comprehension and practical application. IDCA badge delivery to Innovorg clients allows for instant, globally recognizable certification, giving professionals immediate, tangible recognition for completed courses. By incorporating IDCA's global standards and best practices, Innovorg ensures that professionals are equipped with up-to-date, internationally recognized knowledge in the field of data center infrastructure, data center operation, data center engineering, data center technology, and data center management, setting a new standard for career development in the industry.

This partnership comes at a crucial time for the industry, as the demand for skilled professionals across the application ecosystem continues to outpace supply. By combining IDCA's regularly updated, industry-informed content with Innovorg's advanced skills gap analysis and career pathing tools, the two organizations aim to create a comprehensive solution for workforce development in the digital infrastructure space.
