Microsoft TechSpark is a civic program designed to foster greater economic opportunity and job creation in rural communities.
“Advances in technology are creating new job opportunities everywhere we look, but if we don’t have the skills to attain them, those jobs will be out of touch and COVID-19 has only accelerated this problem. We hope our support will allow individuals to take that leap into a career that will not only benefit them but the region by filling the many open programmer positions in our area. We are proud to assist in such incredible efforts lead by Emerging Digital Academy – a top-notch coding school we feel lucky to have in our community, as we continue to foster digital skilling throughout our region and beyond,” shared Microsoft TechSpark’s Taya Spelhaug
The Academy began its first cohort in April 2020 with 13 students expected to graduate in 12 weeks.
