Global Knowledge Gains Independence in Deal with Enduring Ventures

For Darren Bance, General Manager of Global Knowledge, the transition represents a return to the company’s core mission. After three decades of navigating technological shifts from client-server architectures to the current AI-driven landscape, the firm aims to prioritize expert-led instruction over passive digital learning. Bance argues that organizations currently suffer from a surplus of content but a shortage of practical application, a gap he intends to fill by emphasizing real-time feedback and behavioral change.

Zack Onisko, Managing Director at Enduring Ventures, frames the acquisition as a long-term investment in a proven model. Despite the change in ownership, the company maintains its existing service agreements and its partnership with Skillsoft. The firm continues to operate its global network, which includes 150 classroom locations and a roster of over 900 instructors authorized by major vendors such as Microsoft, AWS, Cisco, and NVIDIA. With a 95% satisfaction rate among practitioners, the company plans to focus on its "Guaranteed to Run" schedule and rigorous pre-program assessments to ensure that training translates directly into measurable workforce capability.
