The Red Hat Learning Community (RHLC) celebrates a monumental milestone this week as it exceeds 200,000 members! At its launch in September of 2018, the main goal was simple: provide a collaborative space for open source learners to connect as they optimize their skills in working with Red Hat products. As the core of that mission has remained true since its launch, Red Hat has strived to provide our users what they need in order to collaborate, learn, build skills and meet their individual learning and career goals. Gang Cheng, the 2024 Red Hat Certified Professional of the Year, highlights the community’s impact, stating, "The Red Hat Learning Community is an invaluable resource. It's a platform where professionals share, inspire, and support each other, creating a unique ecosystem of continuous learning."
