With the aim of helping to reduce the gap in programmers and technology specialists that currently exists in Brazil, Oracle, through its educational programs Oracle Next Education (ONE) and Get Started with Oracle AI, launches a call to train more than 20 thousand people in technology and artificial intelligence in Latin America.
The tech talent shortage shows no sign of abating, with the US Department of Labor estimating that the global shortage of software engineers could reach 85.2 million by 2030. According to online education provider Coursera, around 50% of Latin American companies say they cannot find candidates with the skills they need, compared to 36% of companies in OECD countries. Likewise, and based on data from the World Economic Forum, 50% of all employees will need to be retrained by 2025 as technology adoption increases, making it necessary to train on new trends, especially in aspects related to artificial intelligence.
Therefore, in a continuous commitment to innovation and market pain, Oracle launches two certification options: ONE (Oracle Next Education) aimed at people without IT knowledge and who did not have access to higher education and Get Started with Oracle AI for professionals who already have an affinity with technology and seek to improve their knowledge in AI, whether they are developers or teachers.
In the case of ONE, interested parties can register through the website, until January 10th. In this edition, different work modules are covered, starting with the Program Selection phase, in which the student will take the Programming Logic and Personal Development route, with more than 560 hours in 6 months, it is 100% online and gives students flexibility to attend classes and complete projects according to your availability. Furthermore, a new module on artificial intelligence is already included, in which they will learn about the intersection between ChatGPT and JavaScript to create games, assertive prompts focused on generating appropriate responses, and the use of OpenAI Playground. ONE also offers OCI training – Oracle Cloud Infrastructure and MySQL at OCI.
ONE participants, after graduating, will have access to the program EmployONE, a job networking platform that will connect them directly with job opportunities to work with Oracle client and partner companies that are allies of the program.
