Leverage an Open Ecosystem to Facilitate Your P2P Partnerships

… and now, gain easy access to training courses!

What is P2P Global?

P2P Global is an open ecosystem that creates a collaboration marketplace for diverse technology solution providers. P2P was created to fill skill gaps for IT projects — as no one-solution provider can do all things. It is a skill-based platform that allows members to create opportunities, identify skill gaps, and set match criteria that will automatically curate others to respond – allowing you to select from a pool of top skilled candidates for potential P2P engagements.

To help solve skill gaps and provide efficient collaboration, P2P Global’s platform now combines the ability to partner and provides easy access to Skillsoft Global Knowledge’s best-of-breed training for Solution Providers’ internal use and for resale to their customers.
