With a shortage of professionals*, the software industry turns over millions of dollars annually, yet its growth is impacted by a shortage of qualified professionals. To address this global tension between supply and demand, GeneXus, the software company for making software, set out to train thousands of students in low-code development.
In 2019, GeneXus had academic partners in several countries, such as Arabia, Brazil, Jordan, Chile, Mexico, Argentina, Paraguay and Peru, among others; with the aim of enhancing the dynamics of academic partners and growing in scope, both in countries and more educational institutions that include GeneXus as a subject.
The agreements reached consist of scholarships, exclusive talks for students, courses and GeneXus Analyst certifications. In conclusion, 2019 closes with thousands more professionals in the world, trained in Low - Code development to make digital transformation a fact that impacts the growth of digital businesses and smart companies.
"It is a very good balance for the students as well, since knowing GeneXus gives them the possibility of entering the global labour market and the best companies or startups, either in person or remotely. This added to the differential that it means for a student to have an international level certification that is required in about 50 countries," says Aníbal Gonda, technology evangelist of the company.
GeneXus is the fastest way to become a multiplatform developer and enter the world of technology. A basic GeneXus Analyst course takes 80 hours.
