Upright Partners with St. Cloud State University to Launch Career-Focused Bootcamps in Minnesota

Upright has announced its first partnership in Minnesota with St. Cloud State University's Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) division. This collaboration will introduce four in-demand bootcamp programs at St. Cloud State to equip learners with essential skills for today's rapidly evolving job market.

The partnership will offer bootcamps in Software Development, UX/UI Design, Data Analytics, and Digital Marketing. These programs aim to provide comprehensive, career-oriented education to meet the growing demand for tech professionals in Minnesota.

As Minnesota's tech economy expands, the need for skilled workers has surged. Recent data shows a 30% increase in tech job postings in the fields of software development, data analytics, and digital marketing over the past year. This partnership seeks to address the critical skills gap reported by many companies in the region.

"The partnership with St. Cloud State University marks a significant milestone for Upright as we expand our reach into Minnesota," said Benny Boas, CEO of Upright. "Our bootcamps are designed to quickly and effectively prepare learners for high-demand jobs crucial to the state's economy."

St. Cloud State University's PACE division, dedicated to lifelong learning and professional skill enhancement, sees this partnership as aligning perfectly with its mission. "We are proud to lead the way in providing accessible, industry-aligned training," said Jeanie York, Dean of Professional and Continuing Education at St. Cloud State University.
