We’re thrilled to announce that we’ve partnered with the Databricks team to help power their customer education programs!

Databricks was facing a challenge that’s familiar to almost every SaaS company today. Their team recognized the critical role that customer education plays in driving product engagement and retention, but asynchronous training resources often weren’t enough to get customers fully up and running, and high-touch instructor-led learning didn’t scale. With Uplimit’s AI platform, they’re able to deliver a supportive, personalized experience to hundreds of thousands of learners across the world. The results speak for themselves: more than 75% of learners in our cohorts completed Databricks’ courses.

Artificial intelligence is poised to fundamentally transform our economy. Thirty percent of hours worked today could be automated by AI by 2030, with efficiency gains spanning nearly every industry and role. Some estimates suggest AI will change the way 8 in 10 US workers do their jobs. Business leaders are rushing to take advantage of this technology, with the vast majority of CEOs either making or planning significant investments in generative AI.

To celebrate our new course, let’s kick things off with a few introductory pointers about standing out and advancing in your career.

I learned about Uplimit about a year ago from my friend who had just started teaching a class on dbt. Listening to her experience it sounded like a great option to discuss interesting subjects while being able to get into more detail than you are normally limited to with a single blog post or hour long talk. I had a few topics in mind but one topic I’m particularly interested in and wanted to expand upon was data engineering, specifically around Dagster.

I have now completed two runs of my Uplimit course (with another coming up soon) and have really enjoyed the experience. Looking back I wanted to share some thoughts on building and maintaining a course with Uplimit.
