The University of Arizona Partners with Revature to Fill In-demand Technology Jobs By Training the Next Generation of Tech Talent

RESTON, VA – The University of Arizona and Revature, a leading technology talent development company, today announced a strategic partnership to provide University of Arizona students with no-cost, hands-on technology training that will help prepare them to fill critical gaps in the state’s workforce. Technology is one of the top contributors to Arizona’s economic growth, increasing the demand for highly skilled talent.

To meet these demands, Revature will offer intensive online and immersive coding programs to teach University of Arizona students and recent graduates the diverse technology skills needed by companies seeking employees and employ those that successfully complete the program. The partnership offers University of Arizona students and alumni free training that otherwise would cost thousands of dollars.

“Offering training in employable skills that boost student readiness to enter high demand careers, regardless of major, is a key component of our strategy to ensure return on a family’s investment in a University of Arizona degree,” said Abra McAndrew, Assistant Vice President, Student Engagement and Career Development.

Graduates of Revature’s immersive program become certified in the latest enterprise-level, next-gen and niche technologies, helping them become more marketable in the new labor workforce. Additionally, as more companies move to Arizona, they gain access to highly skilled, career-ready tech talent.

“We are directly addressing the state of Arizona’s need for developers with enterprise-level coding skills,” said Joe Mitchell, Executive Vice President of academic partnerships at Revature. “By partnering with the University of Arizona, we are able work with their highly talented students and alumni and provide them with a direct path to these companies seeking technology talent.”
