SAINT CLOUD, MN / ACCESSWIRE / October 1, 2024 / Upright is excited to announce its first partnership in Minnesota with St. Cloud State University's Professional and Continuing Education (PACE) division.

The partnership will offer bootcamps in Software Development, UX/UI Design, Data Analytics, and Digital Marketing, providing comprehensive, career-oriented education to meet the growing demand for tech professionals in Minnesota.

Meeting Minnesota's Workforce Needs

As Minnesota grows its tech economy, the demand for skilled workers in these fields is skyrocketing. According to recent data, the state has seen a significant increase in tech job postings, with software development, data analytics, and digital marketing roles growing by over 30% in the past year alone. Despite this growth, many companies report difficulties in finding qualified candidates, highlighting a critical skills gap that Upright and St. Cloud State are poised to address.

"The partnership with St. Cloud State University marks a significant milestone for Upright as we expand our reach into Minnesota," said Benny Boas, CEO at Upright. "Our bootcamps are designed to quickly and effectively prepare learners for the high-demand jobs that are crucial to the state's economy.
