Those interested in careers in cloud computing, or indeed wanting to gain valuable skills in the field, should take note of a recent announcement from Amazon Web Services (AWS).
The hyperscaler has announced the opening of its first Skills Center on the African continent, located in Cape Town, South Africa. The location makes a lot of sense, given that this is the same region where the company made its first data centres available locally back in 2018.
The Skills Center is the third of its kind globally, with AWS having opened up similar projects in Seattle and Arlington in the United States.
As for what it will make available, AWS explains that it is aimed at offering free foundational cloud training for individuals interested in cloud computing and its potential career opportunities.
“The facility features immersive exhibits demonstrating real-world cloud applications, live instructor-led training, and resources for earning an AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification,” the hyperscaler noted in a press release sent to Hypertext.
“AWS is committed to removing barriers for people to access the skills training they need to grow their careers.
