（2018年4月26日，/HRoot.com/）德科集团近日宣布收购了一家专注IT技能的培训公司General Assembly，单笔交易使General Assembly企业总价值达到了4.125亿美元。该交易预计将在本季度完成，取决于惯例成交条件和监管批准。

General Assembly提供编码和IT技能培训;2017年的营收为1亿美元，三年复合增长率达到30%。General Assembly在北美、澳大利亚和亚洲拥有20个校区，它通过面授课程、在线课程或混合式教学提供培训。这家总部位于纽约的公司成立于2011年，最初是一个联合办公空间。

德科集团利用General Assembly的服务补充领德（Lee Hecht Harrison）的转职服务及“人才管道即服务”（TPaaS）模型补充专业人员配置解决方案，从而形成重要的协同效应。

在创始人兼首席执行官Jake Schwartz和他的团队领导下，General Assembly将作为一个独立的部门运作，向德科集团执行委员会成员Sergio Picarelli汇报。

Schwartz协同联合创始人Matt Brimer、Brad Hargreaves和Adam Pritzker创办该公司。

“由于德科集团的独特结构，使我们能够设计出一种结构，让General Assembly在它的庇护下作为一个完全独立的公司运作，”Schwartz在一篇博客文章中写道。“然而，我们将能够利用世界上最大的人力资源服务公司的知识和关系网。”

General Assembly拥有来自《财富》世界500强企业中约5万名校友和300家客户。

德科首席执行官Alain Dehaze说:“我们的客户正在寻找合作伙伴，以提高他们对21世纪稀缺技能的了解，并帮助他们应对劳动力转型。”“通过提供 General Assembly的服务与集团现有的人才发展、职业转型和专业人员配备解决方案，我们将能够更好地回应这些客户的需求，增强对最需要的技能的使用和供应。”

ADECCO ACQUIRES TRAINING PROVIDER GENERAL ASSEMBLY IN DEAL THAT GIVES FIRM ENTERPRISE VALUE OF $412.5 MILLION

(Apr.26,2018,/staffingindustry.com/)The Adecco Group today announced it acquired General Assembly, a training firm focused on IT skills, in a deal that gives General Assembly a total enterprise value of $412.5 million. The deal is expected to close this quarter, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

General Assembly provides coding boot camps and IT skills training; revenue for 2017 was $100 million, and its three-year compound annual growth rate was 30%. It has 20 campuses in North America, Australia and Asia, but it provides training via in-person classes, online or through a blended model. The New York-based company was founded in 2011, and was initially a co-working space.

Adecco, the world’s largest staffing firm, reported synergies such as the ability to offer General Assembly’s services within its Lee Hecht Harrison outplacement businesses and in its professional staffing offering as a “talent pipeline as a service.”

General Assembly will operate as a separate division under the leadership of its founder and CEO, Jake Schwartz and his team. They will report to Sergio Picarelli, a member of The Adecco Group’s executive committee.

Schwartz started the company with co-founders Matt Brimer, Brad Hargreaves and Adam Pritzker.

“Because of the unique structure of The Adecco Group, we were able to craft a structure where General Assembly will run as a fully independent company underneath its large umbrella,” Schwartz wrote in a blog post. “We will, however, be able to leverage the knowledge and network of the world’s largest human capital company.”

General Assembly reported it has some 50,000 alumni and 300 clients from the Fortune 500.

“Our clients are looking for partners to improve access to scarce 21st-century skills and help navigate workforce transformation,” Adecco CEO Alain Dehaze said. “By offering General Assembly’s services alongside the group’s existing talent development, career transition and professional staffing solutions we will be able to better respond to these client needs, enhancing both access to and the supply of the most in-demand skills.”
