The IBM Skills Academy is almost up and running! We excitedly countdown until the first ever IBM Skills Academy opens in Nevada.
NTA teachers are finishing their courses from IBM to share this ground breaking educational platform with our community.
IBM Skills Academy Certifications can be obtained in one semester complete with a certificate from IBM, a digital badge,
and a valuable education.
So, lets back up a little bit. If you don’t know about Big Blue, you may be living under a rock.
IBM is globally recognized as a key innovator, and influencer, in the technology community for over a century. They started creating computerized punch card systems in 1911 and in 2020 they stress known boundaries with products like WATSON, a stellar artificial intelligence program, and Quantum computing.
Recently IBM obtained Red Hat and using it to create the cloud services for IBM Skills Academy. IBM Skills Academy's goal is to close the skills gap present in the tech industry between the university and the field. Many students whom complete degrees do not have the experience to advance them into a new career they went to school for. IBM Skills Academy offers hands-on labs , online courses, and certifications for tech skills in demand available through IBM's cloud service to fill the gap. IBM Skills Academy students will have access to programs, virtual tools, and hands-on labs only available on IBM’s platform.
Gaining access to enterprise level tools without having to pay the enterprise level price gives students hands-on experience industry specific tools they otherwise wouldn't have access.
Maybe you don’t have two years to spend in school, but you can dedicate yourself to completing a program in 3 months?
This is the opportunity you have been looking for. No long-term commitments, great knowledge presented professionally, and a certification to advance your career. These certificates are not considered an industry standard, but they are still respected within the greater information technology community. This curriculum is short enough to feel comfortable completing the coursework, but interesting enough that you might find a hidden passion to advance further. Courses provided from IBM & NTA establish a good foundation you can build on.
