Rackspace Pilots Certification, Training Program For Students

rackspace_open_cloud_academy

Rackspace has launched a pilot training program at the Open Cloud Academy, designed to provide students with IT certifications, specifically around open cloud technologies.

Graham Weston (Chairman,  Rackspace): As cloud adoption increases, companies stand to reduce IT costs and become more agile, however, with not enough people properly trained in these cutting edge technologies, organizations are missing the boat. The Open Cloud Academy can help turn the tide by offering highly sought after technical training to the public, bolstering the this scarce pipeline and helping fill the countless number of roles in San Antonio and beyond. 

The Open Cloud Academy will have a focus on former military and university graduates, says Rackspace. The academy is located in downtown San Antonio’s Weston Centre.
