Case Study: NYC School Construction Authority achieves faster, more efficient project delivery by upskilling teams with Pluralsight

Combining New Technology Skills With Institutional Knowledge to Stay Ahead

The NYC School Construction Authority (SCA) manages design, construction and renovation across more than 1,800 public school buildings and 1,500+ active projects with a five‑year $18.5B capital program. Its IT team supports six verticals (construction management, A&E, capital planning, regulatory compliance, finance and HR) and faced the dual challenge of preserving deep institutional knowledge while rapidly upskilling staff to reduce manual, paper‑based processes and adopt modern development practices like Angular and object‑oriented programming.

SCA adopted Pluralsight Skills—combining on‑demand courses, Skill IQ/Role IQ assessments and tailored, expert‑led virtual workshops with hands‑on labs—to deliver just‑in‑time, role‑focused training. The result: faster Angular/OOP adoption, improved developer collaboration, quicker product development and decision making, reduced plan review and approval times by moving off paper, and plans to expand analytics and skills measurement across the organization to realize project value more quickly.
