Training tomorrow's DevOps experts: a look back at the partnership between KPC and OpenClassrooms

IT moves at a relentless pace, and DevOps has become a key skill for companies looking to combine agility, automation and performance. Aware of what is at stake, KPC teamed up with OpenClassrooms to build a training path for future DevOps experts together, an initiative that answers growing demand in the market. 

Recognized expertise put to work in training

Drawing on its Data and Digital know-how, KPC helped shape the programme alongside OpenClassrooms' teaching teams. The structured path covers the technical and methodological fundamentals of DevOps, with an emphasis on technologies such as GitLab CI/CD, Docker and Kubernetes.

“Defining what a DevOps expert does is a complex exercise. It is a culture before it is a skill, and our aim was to build a course that combines technical rigor with a human approach.”

A course designed by people who do the work

At the heart of this collaboration, Hector Lachambre, DevOps expert in KPC's Digital Factory, played a central role in defining the teaching content. His expertise made it possible to design a pragmatic, immersive programme, in step with the operational challenges companies actually face. 

A strong commitment to continuous learning

Beyond passing on technical skills, this partnership shows KPC's commitment to training and developing talent. Internally, through continuous training for employees, and externally, by taking on apprentices, the company puts skills growth at the heart of its strategy. 

With this initiative, KPC and OpenClassrooms are helping shape the new generation of DevOps experts, ready to meet the strategic challenges of modern companies.

It is a dynamic that shows how important DevOps has become in digital transformation and the need to train qualified people to support that shift.
