SAN JOSE, Calif. - The San Jose Earthquakes announced today a new multi-year partnership with Udemy, a leading online skills marketplace and learning platform, to be their Official Learning and Skills Partner, as well as their new Official Training Jersey Partner.

"The San Jose Earthquakes are thrilled to welcome Udemy as our new Official Learning and Skills Partner, and our Official Training Jersey Partner," said Ian Anderson, Chief Strategy Officer of the Earthquakes.
