“This extraordinary alliance opens the door to more than 175 learning pathways in technical and soft skills with the world’s most prestigious companies and universities, such as Princeton, Yale, Toronto, and firms of the caliber of IBM, Intel, and HubSpot, to name just a few examples. We are confident that this step will represent a major leap forward in the ongoing transformation and strengthening of the financial sector,” said ABA President Rosanna Ruiz.

The agreement makes it easier for companies to acquire licenses that can be assigned to more than one employee during the year of validity, which represents cost savings and the possibility of impacting a larger number of staff.
