Fullstack Academy Partners with Louisiana State University to Offer Cybersecurity and Web Development CertificatesNEW YORK, Jan. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Fullstack Academy, one of the longest-running and most successful coding bootcamps in the country, has partnered with Louisiana State University (LSU) to offer Cybersecurity and Web Development certificates through the university's Digital and Continuing Education division. Through this relationship, students will be able to complete coursework in either Cybersecurity or Web Development training. A recent review of open positions in Louisiana found more than 5,600 open technology jobs plus a further 2,400 open cybersecurity roles. The partnership between Fullstack Academy and LSU is the first of its kind in the state – providing significant workforce building programs, designed to prepare students for cybersecurity and web development jobs. "We are redefining what it means to provide accessible and affordable learning options in high-demand, workforce-relevant fields, driving economic opportunity and stability," said Sasha Thackberry, Vice President of LSU Digital and Continuing Education. "Cybersecurity and web development are growing rapidly, and these programs are part of the new wave of technology courses being offered at LSU." "We are thrilled to partner with Louisiana State University," said David Yang, Fullstack Academy co-founder. "This program will enable Louisiana companies to hire Louisiana talent with cutting-edge skills, as opposed to outsourcing their ITneeds." Upon completing the part-time, 6 month program, graduates will receive a certificate from Fullstack Academy and Louisiana State University in their selected program. There are also plans to offer full-time programs, where course material will be covered in 14 weeks.
