NovaTech reskilled 240 engineers to cloud-native in 6 months

240

engineers reskilled to cloud-native

Situation

NovaTech needed to migrate from on-prem to AWS within a year. The engineering org had deep distributed systems chops but limited cloud experience. Hiring would have taken 18 months and cost $20M+; reskilling needed to be the answer.

Solution

SkillMind ran the Cloud Architect Associate Track plus a custom DevOps & SRE cohort across two waves. Mentors from the NovaTech principal team were paired with cohort participants for weekly office hours. Phase-gate sign-off before each module ensured no one fell behind.

Outcomes

240 engineers certified to cloud-native within 6 months
Zero unplanned attrition during the migration window
Migration completed 4 months ahead of the original deadline

“We picked SkillMind over building it ourselves because the audit-grade rubric system meant we could prove competency to our risk team.”
Marcus Haddad · Principal Cloud Architect at NovaTech
