Red Pulse has announced a partnership with Udacity, a for-profit university that offers massive open online courses (MOOCs). The announcement was made in Red Pulse’s bi-weekly report, which also highlighted various other project events and updates.

Red Pulse has agreed to provide employment and scholarship support for Udacity’s Blockchain Engineering Nanodegree Program. A nanodegree is an online certification that aims to teach basic programming skills to qualify participants for entry-level programming and analyst positions. The Udacity program teaches students how to work with Bitcoin and Ethereum protocols, build projects for real-world applications, and gain essential skills for a career in the blockchain space.

In the Blockchain Engineering Nanodegree program, students will be taught by senior technical instructors and challenged with real-world projects, including building their own blockchains, writing smart contracts, and integrating these features with web applications.

Through their coursework, Udacity students will be provided with opportunities to communicate with industry experts. Jonathan Ha, CEO of Red Pulse, is among the list of industry experts who has agreed to meet and communicate with students.

Additionally, Red Pulse will support the nanodegree program by giving priority to program graduates who apply for engineering roles at Red Pulse. Nanodegree program students who are hired will have their tuition fees reimbursed by Red Pulse.

Regarding the Udacity partnership, Jonathan Ha stated, “the demand for blockchain engineers is enormous, and this partnership with Udacity is our investment in growing the pool of talent available to push blockchain technology forward. Udacity provides the perfect platform to quickly and effectively onboard engineers and connect them with industry contacts.”
