Demand for 21st century skills – such as product management, digital marketing and mobile development – have greatly increased over the past several years. According to a joint study from GA and Burning Glass Technologies, Denver is one of the top U.S. cities with the highest concentration of open opportunities for individuals with these skills.
Starting in February, GA Denver will offer events, workshops and short-form classes on a range of relevant topics in data, design, business and technology such as “Programming for non-programmers”, “Intro to Adobe Photoshop” and “Intro to the Denver Startup Community.” Full-time and part-time programs will begin in May. GA’s long form programming is structured with an education-to-employment approach, setting students up for success with the most in-demand skills in web and mobile development, data science, product management and digital marketing.
