SAN FRANCISCO, April 08, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Holberton, an education company focused on making software-engineering education affordable and accessible globally, announced today that Anahuac University has launched their first DevOps certification using Holberton’s OS of Education.
Puppet, the industry standard for infrastructure automation, helped develop the content for the course, named “Certificación Profesional en DevOps Foundations: Software Development Optimization.” The course will be accessible in June 2021 via the EdX learning platform, an American massive open online course (MOOC) provider created by Harvard and MIT that hosts university-level courses online.
According to a Puppet survey, released last month, DevOps salaries last year increased around the world last year, despite widespread economic slowdowns and cross-industry layoffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The survey of 2,415 DevOps professionals in eight key international markets, found that companies are struggling to find DevOps engineers and that demand is projected to grow consistently in the next 10 years. On LinkedIn alone, there are almost 100,000 DevOps positions open globally. Companies can’t find enough DevOps engineers to sustain their needs.
As a result, there is a massive and global opportunity to train DevOps practitioners.
Last year, one of the most prestigious institutions of higher education in Mexico, Anahuac University, asked Holberton to help create a new DevOps certification program that would be accessible and flexible enough for everyone in Latin America. Holberton partnered with Puppet to create that program.
Puppet is offering 20 scholarships for the Anahuac University DevOps program.
Anahuac University plans to train more than 5,000 people in DevOps this year alone. This partnership is the latest demonstration of Holberton’s commitment to its mission to open doors to as many jobs as possible for the next generation of software engineers in Latin America in the 4th industrial revolution.
