Partnership with SkillStorm to help close skills gap in state's rapidly growing innovation ecosystem.
LINCOLN, Neb., Oct. 18, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The University of Nebraska–Lincoln has launched a partnership with SkillStorm designed to fill talent gaps in the tech sector across the Midwest.
"Our partnership is an opportunity for UNL to make a direct and positive impact on a sector of the Nebraska economy that is poised for growth," said Kevin Shriner, UNL's assistant vice chancellor for digital and online learning. "It is a unique approach and one that will benefit both our students in their career paths and current workers who are seeking new skills."
Through SkillStorm's training platform, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln will offer a range of courses that lead to tech skills credentials in today's most in-demand areas, including AWS, Comp-TIA, Salesforce, Appian, and Pega.
"Too often, fast-growing businesses in search of talent are forced to look outside their region because the local workforce infrastructure isn't prepared to support accelerating skill demand in fields like tech," said Joe Mitchell, COO at SkillStorm. "UNL is taking steps to change that narrative in Nebraska — by building new tech talent pipelines in ways that will support economic growth across the entire region."
