ASI Government's Social Learning programs provide an open assembly of experiential and developmental activities designed to improve competency in a specialized area of focus. Participants who join our Cloud Computing Learning Path may earn continuous learning points (CLPs) for completing self-directed and virtual collaboration events. The open nature of social learning allows anyone to gain applied experience while earning CLPs to demonstrate competency in the acquisition of cloud-enabled IT services. The self-directed nature of our Learning Path increases participant flexibility and allows learners to own their career by selecting activities best aligned with their job role and experience level. Control your learning, manage your progress, and own your career with ASI Social Learning Programs!
