How BMO is building a future-ready workforce

At BMO, investing in our people is core to how we grow as an organization. In a rapidly changing digital landscape, we know that building future-ready teams starts with equipping employees with the right skills to lead through transformation. 

That’s why we’ve partnered with Pluralsight – a leading technology skills platform – to empower our teams with high-impact learning opportunities that align with business priorities. 

Accelerating innovation through upskilling 

Keeping pace with technology requires more than just adoption – it demands a shift in culture and capability. With Pluralsight, we’ve implemented a consistent upskilling strategy that engages employees to develop skills in artificial intelligence, cloud, Agile, data, cybersecurity and more. 

“Digital First means innovating our customer-first approach. To achieve that, we need the right people with the right skills and in the right roles.” 

– Carl Gomes,
CIO for Finance and Enterprise Risk at BMO

Through our partnership with Pluralsight, BMO employees have logged over 17,000 learning hours and we’ve seen a 202% increase in expert-level tech skills. Pluralsight’s hands-on labs and Skill IQ assessments have also helped reduce ramp-up time and drive smarter decision-making across the bank.  

Building a culture of continuous learning 

Our learning culture extends beyond training – it’s about engagement. Skill blitzes and gamified learning experiences make development interactive, inclusive and actionable. 

“If you aren’t investing in your skills, you’re missing out on a chance to future-proof your career,” Gomes added. “With Pluralsight, our employees have access to what they need to stay ahead.” 

Our partnership with Pluralsight is just one of the many ways we’re investing in talent and preparing our teams for what’s next.
