Addressing the global talent gap
Nearly all companies globally have finally realized that they cannot survive without becoming at least partially a digital organization. This has triggered an enormous digital transformation movement and as a result the existing talent gap has widened instead of being solved.
On the other hand, a lot of people are losing their jobs or cannot find jobs because business models have changed and/or some economic sectors have been hit harder than others.
In this situation we at Fast Lane are very proud of our contribution helping the economy and our society to master those challenges. Our special setup as a consulting and education company enables us to guide companies along their digital journey while at the same time provide the required experts to do the work.
Our talent programs offer a unique solution to address the above-mentioned talent gap and because of the increasing demand and the current economic situation we have decided to expand our programs and combine them into the Fast Lane Academy.
Talent programs are not just education programs. Candidates need to apply and need to pass a rigorous selection process making sure that they have the right personality and attitude to complete the program. Furthermore, candidates are matched up front with their future employer. This ensures that an organization’s investment yields precisely the certified, highly qualified experts they are seeking. Once admitted, students are mentored throughout the whole program to cater to their individual needs, learning challenges, etc. thus ensuring that they will achieve the desired results and will be able to contribute to the performance of digital transformation projects immediately after completing the program.
You are selecting candidates who are suitable for your organization.
Once you have selected one or more candidates they will be enrolled in the selected education program(s). All programs include:
✓ Workshops including individual focus areas and individual coaching
✓ Comprehensive self-study materials
✓ Extended access to our learning systems to perform practical exercises
✓ Individual coaching and mentoring during the whole program
✓ Ongoing assessment to verify progress
✓ Preparation for and acquiring of official certifications
✓ Ongoing monitoring and reporting

Fast Lane's team of trainers has brought our data center team up to all the Cisco, NetApp, and VMware certifications we need for our work with customers within six months.

What our talent program customers say
The idea of Fast Lane's Data Center Talent Program convinced us right from the start. It enables us to continuously expand the solution expertise we need in our customer projects for operating data centers and building private cloud infrastructures: Through a complete package of recruitment, training and comprehensive certifications, which Fast Lane even guarantees! We have hired two new employees through this qualification initiative, both of whom have completed a total of 13 different Cisco, NetApp, and VMware certifications during the six-month program with excellent results. Our European colleagues are already looking forward to the first European seasons of the Data Center Talent Program, which will start soon!
