Considering all this, we have designed a rigorous community-focused learning program that seamlessly integrates with learner&#8217;s daily life and provides opportunities to learn, connect, collaborate, and network with industry peers and leaders. The program structure of Forever is based on Scaler&#8217;s underlying concepts &#8211; collaborative learning and mentorship, and is an outcome from interaction with 30 technology leaders and 50 renowned senior engineers.&#8221; <\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Arnav Gupta, Product and Strategy Lead, Scaler, Said<\/strong>, <em>&#8220;We are excited to announce the launch of first-of-its-kind subscription-based upskilling program <strong>Scaler Forever<\/strong>.
