Galvanize Tackles Software Engineering Skills Gap
New Professional Development O erings Help Employers Upskill Their Current Workforce
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- In the next ve years, 80 percent of all employers are looking to rapidly digitalize with 50 percent of all workers requiring immediate upskilling, according to the World Economic Forum’s Future Of Jobs Report 2020.
To provide an easier and more a ordable way to ll those skills gaps, Galvanize - the nation's leading provider of software engineering and data science training and a subsidiary of Stride, Inc. (NYSE: LRN) - is expanding upon its Hack Reactor Professional Development short courses for professional software engineers that go far beyond the industry basics and grow fundamental skills within a real-world context.
According to The Future Of Jobs Report, the most competitive businesses will be those that choose to upskill current employees. In addition to staying on top of current technology, the top upskilling priorities for businesses consistently include critical thinking, analysis, and problem-solving.
However, where there is a lack of scalable and external career-oriented educational opportunities for professional software engineers, Galvanize’s new courses provide a solution towards leadership and career growth. These courses aim to introduce advanced software engineering and computer science skills without employees having to press pause on their careers and re-enroll in a traditional degree program.
More than half of all U.S. companies o er tuition reimbursement as a bene t to employees, and by o ering low- cost, short-form courses, Hack Reactor’s Professional Development Courses o er a quick and easy way for students to ll their skill gap. Employers are taking notice. Two-thirds of Hack Reactor’s Professional Development students to date have been reimbursed by their employer, including leading Fortune 500 companies.
“We are thrilled to see managers supporting the continued education of their employees,” said Mike Rudinsky, Vice President of Professional Development Product at Galvanize. “We are con dent that their investment will help grow thought leadership on their teams.”
Courses being o ered include:
Algorithms + Data Structure Microservices + Orchestration Methodologies + Requirements Gathering Networking + Reactive Programming Computer Architecture + IoT
Galvanize makes it easy for employees to attend courses by o ering live sessions twice per week and recording all classes, allowing exibility for students if deadlines come up at work. The Professional Development courses run 4- 6 weeks and are delivered on a part-time basis, o ering classes in the evenings to accommodate the schedule of working students.
