Upright Education Partners with University of South Carolina Upstate to Launch Tech Bootcamps

Upright Education has partnered with the University of South Carolina Upstate (USC Upstate) to introduce specialized tech bootcamps aimed at adults entering the technology sector. This initiative seeks to fill the increasing demand for skilled tech professionals in South Carolina, focusing on software development, data analytics, digital product design, and digital marketing. As South Carolina emerges from a labor shortage with tech jobs driving economic growth, this collaboration promises enhanced pathways into the tech industry.

Leveraging Upright Education's expertise, USC Upstate is set to offer tech bootcamps that align with industry needs, complementing its existing degree programs. The programs, delivered 100% online with a 50% synchronous component, aim for strong completion and placement rates through interactive learning and professional support.

“This partnership is geared towards equipping individuals with requisite skills for the booming tech sector in South Carolina," stated Benny Boas, CEO of Upright Education. Participants will benefit from a curriculum designed by industry experts and a career services team dedicated to providing job support. USC Upstate and Upright Education's collaborative effort marks a significant step towards nurturing a skilled tech workforce within the state.
