BrainStation Launches New Miami Tech Scholarship
aīre ventures is proud to partner with BrainStation, the global leader in premium digital skills training and workforce transformation, on the joint mission of increasing access to essential digital skills for talented individuals from underrepresented groups in tech to embark on an exciting career in tech, regardless of the individual's background or economic circumstances.
BrainStation has expanded its industry-leading scholarship program with a new Miami Tech Scholarship, providing aspiring tech professionals in Florida with up to $5,000 in education funding.
All Florida residents are eligible to apply for the Miami Tech Scholarship, which is designed to support the burgeoning Miami tech sector by increasing access to BrainStation’s award-winning bootcamps in UX design, web development and software engineering.
“Since 2012, BrainStation has awarded more than $2 million in scholarship funding, empowering thousands of professionals around the world with digital skills training,” said Johana Mikkola, VP and General Manager of BrainStation Miami. “We’re very proud and excited to be expanding our successful scholarship program into Florida and Miami, which has one of the fastest-growing and most dynamic tech ecosystems in the world. The sky is truly the limit when it comes to Miami tech and we want to be able to support that growth.”
Miami’s tech industry has turned into a new global hub for the digital economy over the last few years, and it continues to grow rapidly. Demand for digital skills, however, remains greater than the supply of qualified employees, and that skills gap is growing. In fact, the World Economic Forum estimates that emerging technologies will generate 133 million new jobs in the next year, with more than half of all employees requiring significant re-skilling.
To prepare the workforce for these opportunities, BrainStation offers part-time and full-time bootcamps, both online and in-person at its campuses in Miami, New York, London, and Toronto, among others. Over 90% of BrainStation graduates find employment within six months of graduation, with the company providing access to an exclusive hiring network and ongoing career guidance and support, including resume writing and job applications, personal branding, interview preparation, and more.
