As you know, SAS is all about learning. We have a multitude of offerings for individuals and businesses. In fact, do you know about all the various B2B offerings we have? We offer:

Skills gap/Learning Needs Assessment - How do you identify and onboard the analytics talent you need, and get your existing team up to speed? SAS will work with you to explore current team skills and opportunities for growth, so you can focus learning on knowledge gaps.
Workforce Transformation – Our program creates an innovative solution to boost employee engagement, sharpen analytical skills and create an analytics culture of continuous improvement. We’ll help you create a program customized to grow the specific skills your team needs − SAS skills, soft skills, leadership skills, and industry skills.
Custom Learning Portal – Providing a streamlined, tailored training approach for your team is key. We’ll work with you to identify relevant training and resources, and organize it based on your company’s specific learning and development goals.
Mentoring - Want a tailored curriculum and confidential, extensive interaction with a SAS expert scheduled at your convenience? Bring a SAS training instructor to your team who will focus on your unique business needs along your project timelines.
SAS Learning Subscription - Our unlimited learning subscription is a convenient, flexible way to get training when and where it’s needed, in one purchase. Try it first with our free trial option.
SAS Training Points - Lock in up to 30% savings on all training needs. Use SAS Training Points on courses in any format, on-site and mentoring services, SAS certification, books, and select conferences.

As a SAS employee I didn’t know all of this, and I bet you didn’t either. I hope I’ve shed some light on all the ways we are here to help you grow your SAS knowledge.

Happy learning!
