For the last two years, UiPath has been working with leading Institutions, Universities, and Colleges to craft the global RPA knowledge ecosystem and shape the future of work through an inclusive community of educators and students. This is where the UiPath Academic Alliance came from. This week, the project reached a great milestone – the RPA vendor announced its groundbreaking Academic Alliance program now includes more than 1,000 higher education institutions and workforce development organizations that bring specially designed RPA curricula and free UiPath software to the next generation of workers. The latest Alliance members include the University of Florida, Loyola University of Maryland, and Bentley University, among others.
To date, UiPath Academic Alliance institutions—comprised of universities, colleges, government bodies, professional workforce organizations, and not-for-profits—have educated more than 245,000 students and professionals on automation in 63 countries through the program in its first two years. The Alliance has also influenced more than 30,000 of these individuals in gaining employment, according to a UiPath survey of more than 200 Academic Alliance members.
“We envision a world in which humanity is unburdened of repetitive tasks and freed to embrace more creative, strategic, and fulfilling work. The future of work is already here, and demand for RPA skills creates an incredible opportunity for students and professionals everywhere to develop their talents in automation through education and become valuable employees and decision-makers.”
