The company also has a presence in Sunnyvale, California. With this acquisition, LearnVantage will expand its ability to deliver certification programmes and bootcamps that equip professionals with skills in areas such as AI, data science, cybersecurity, chip design, digital transformation, and leadership. "TalentSprint's end-to-end delivery capabilities of focused learning programs provide a competitive value proposition for learners and enterprises alike, making it a great fit for our expanding LearnVantage business," Kishore P Durg, global lead of Accenture LearnVantage said.

This deal follows Accenture's previous investments in Udacity and Award Solutions, and is part of the company's ongoing $1 billion commitment to build LearnVantage into a major global learning and training platform.
