Many people assume that working with computers, robots, CNC machines, and automation is out of question for them. As a result, unfortunately, they miss significant opportunities, which include higher-paying jobs and a very different quality of life. Our Computational Literacy For Modern Careers training program changes that. If you are willing to put in the effort, we will take you on a journey where you will learn how computers think, how they operate, and how you can use them to solve problems. You will find yourself utilizing new skills that you never imagined existed. At the same time as you learn new computational hard skills, you develop important soft skills, including the ability to focus, to pay attention to detail, to communicate effectively, to solve problems, to use logic so as to make correct decisions, to plan ahead so as to do it right the first time, to persevere, to learn from failure, and to adapt to changing conditions, among others. If you have the capability to learn and the desire to grow, this training program is for you, independent of your formal education.
