Platzi, the leading online education platform in the Spanish-speaking world, is demonstrating a relentless commitment to innovation, continuously updating its course catalog and launching new initiatives. This ongoing expansion aligns with the platform's mission to equip Latin American talent with in-demand technology skills, as highlighted by CEO Freddy Vega.
"Platzi no para de actualizar cursos y lanzar cosas nuevas 💚," Freddy Vega, CEO and co-founder of Platzi, stated recently on social media, emphasizing the company's continuous drive. The edtech platform, established in 2014, has consistently focused on careers in programming, web design, digital marketing, and business, ensuring its content remains relevant to the fast-evolving tech industry.
In 2024, Platzi notably expanded its curriculum to include new courses in Artificial Intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and Web3 technologies, reflecting the most sought-after skills in the global job market. The company also introduced a new learning management tool specifically designed for businesses, further solidifying its B2B offerings. Platzi aims to launch approximately 20 new courses each month to keep pace with industry demands.
A significant recent development is the integration of ADA, Platzi's AI Learning Assistant, designed to provide immediate answers to student questions and generate personalized learning paths. This AI-driven feature enhances the learning experience by offering tailored support and improving engagement. Platzi boasts an impressive course completion rate of over 70%, significantly higher than the industry average.
