Partnering is a great way to increase your knowledge on solutions and technology that you do not have experience with. By working together with a partner who has that expertise, it's a great learning experience that can actually earn you money! It's a great opportunity for some hands-on training and real world experience that oftentimes doesn't readily translate from taking classroom or virtual training. It's an especially good idea to use it in conjunction with formal training to really solidify the knowledge by practicing it first hand.
