These programs are designed to empower individuals with the skills and knowledge necessary to thrive in today's dynamic tech industry.

The collaboration between Upright Education and BRTC brings together Upright's expertise in delivering comprehensive online education and BRTC's reputation for high-quality, accessible learning opportunities. The new programs cover a wide spectrum of in-demand tech fields, including Software Development, Tech Sales, Digital Marketing, UX/UI Design, and Data Analytics. This partnership aims to equip adult learners with the essential skill sets required to break into the burgeoning tech market in Arkansas and beyond.

"We are truly excited to work alongside Black River Technical College in launching these transformative bootcamp programs. Our mission aligns perfectly with BRTC's commitment to providing accessible education that directly addresses the needs of learners and industries. Together, we aim to empower individuals to realize their potential and contribute meaningfully to the ever-evolving world of technology." - Benny Boas, CEO of Upright Education

The genesis of these innovative tech bootcamp programs can be traced back to community demand, as a member of the community suggested that BRTC should consider offering bootcamp-style training programs. This insight spurred a collaborative effort between Upright Education and BRTC to bring these programs to fruition. The partnership represents a proactive response to the needs of individuals seeking career opportunities in technology and supports the growth of the tech industry within Arkansas.

"BRTC is excited to partner with Upright to bridge the gap between hands-on learning and in-demand digital skills. We believe this collaboration will yield exceptional career outcomes for those seeking new opportunities." - Black River Technical College President Dr. Martin Eggensperger

The programs, which can be completed in just 8 to 24 weeks, are tailored to meet the needs of career switchers and individuals looking to acquire new skills.
