Bethel Uni­ver­sity Pro­vides Free Boot­camp in Cloud Com­put­ing

MISHAWAKA- This year, Bethel Uni­ver­sity is of­fer­ing a Cloud Com­put­ing Boot­camp. The Com­puter Sci­ence de­part­ment is of­fer­ing high school stu­dents and peo­ple in the work­force an op­por­tu­nity to learn the ba­sics of cloud com­put­ing. The pur­pose is to help pre­pare cur­rent and fu­ture em­ploy­ees to ef­fec­tively use cloud tech­nol­ogy in the work­force ac­cord­ing to bethelu­ni­ver­sity.edu. 

This train­ing was made pos­si­ble through a LIFT (Labs for In­dus­try Fu­tures and Trans­for­ma­tion) grant that Bethel re­ceived. The pur­pose of the grant is to pro­vide ed­u­ca­tion in the STEM (sci­ence, tech­nol­ogy, en­gi­neer­ing, and math) fields. Be­cause of this $255,000 grant, Bethel is able to pro­vide these boot camp ses­sions for free ac­cord­ing to bethelu­ni­veristy.edu. 

“Bethel Uni­ver­sity is very ex­cited to take our cloud com­put­ing ex­per­tise and pro­vide it to the greater Michi­ana area to help grow all of our tech­ni­cal ex­per­tise,” said Cathy Bareiss, PH.D., pro­fes­sor of com­puter sci­ence. This in­for­ma­tion was found in a press re­lease pub­lished on the Bethel Uni­ver­sity web­site. 

These ses­sions are be­ing taught by our Com­puter Sci­ence De­part­ment. The fall boot­camp started on Aug. 31. The Spring ses­sions will be­gin on Jan. 3. Ses­sions are on Tues­day nights, reg­is­tra­tion at bethelu­ni­ver­sity.edu.
