Tempe-based University of Advancing Technology now offers the option to earn a professional certificate in technology-centric disciplines. These certificate options — derived from the reality that local business is starved of technology talent and as such find themselves having a difficult time scaling for growth — afford business owners and executives the ability to grow their company while offering employees seeking career advancement opportunities an affordable option to add professional development to their resume.
UAT has partnered with Arizona Bank and Trust, who has agreed to assist startup companies by providing funding and financing for a grant to enroll tech employees in the certificate program. For large companies, employers have the ability to request a customized curriculum in an effort to address specific, more tailored needs.
