Looking for a jumpstart? Blockchain is for you!
Blockchain has gone from being a closed door hobby to the next big thing in technology and as a natural result there has been an increased demand for blockchain learning programs. From having an origin story of being used to seamlessly send money from point A to point B, to quickly becoming the most exciting piece of technology since the internet, blockchain has had a very short and exciting story to tell.
This rocket-ship journey of blockchain is thanks to adoption by some of the biggest companies in the world. The World Economic Forum reports that by 2025, 18% of the world’s GDP will be on Blockchain technologies. As investment into blockchain technology increases, there will be large requirements for trained blockchain professionals.
Presently, it is difficult to find trained and quality blockchain developers as there just aren’t enough blockchain developers. And as a result of a shortage of good blockchain developers, the role generally commands a high compensation as well as learning.
The report provided by Burning Glass Technologies states that due to the technologies connection to cryptocurrencies, blockchain is mostly associated to finance. However, the demand for blockchain has proven to be much broader as more companies are adopting enterprise blockchain solutions for various other uses cases such as insurance, logistics, e-commerce, and many more.
There is a common misconception that learning blockchain would only be beneficial to computer engineers. However, we have already well inside the era of third-generation blockchains. Some examples are Cardano and ICON. One of the most fundamental purposes of these blockchain are to improve interoperability. In simple terms it will improve the interactions and communication among blockchains and legacy companies. This makes it necessary for non technical resources to equip themselves with the required knowledge to understand implementation and value.
If you don’t believe blockchain courses are becoming popular, all you need to do is a simple google search to find out the huge number of education providers offering blockchain programs. However, the primary challenge with these programs are that they are mostly meant for developers looking to upskill. Hence, these programs are technically intensive, and could easily go over a non technical persons head.
Another problem with these modules is that the content and curriculums are made by education providers who have no hands on Blockchain experience. This seriously hinders the quality of the program offered and the quality of the professionals who complete the program.
BirthVenue Filling the Gap
We being one of the top blockchain solution providers in the country, have worked across multiple verticals and are equipped with intensive practical knowledge.
By understanding the growing demand for practical application based blockchain programs, we have launched an extremely focused blockchain curriculum along with education partners in the form of universities and training institutes.
For the main purpose of increasing the reach of the program, we have started a classroom engagement model as well as a virtual classroom model across India.
This program is clearly a differentiator because the program is not only for developers but also project managers, support professionals, team leads, as well as business analysts. With that in mind, the training program is not only offered to universities to target students but also to corporates / training centers to target mid and late stage professionals who are looking to upskill themselves.
There is no better time to start learning!
Blockchains are still in their growth stage, but with numerous real life projects on the horizon, the domain is set to boom. Our new training program is a great way for you to truly understand the fundamentals as well as gain hands on experience from industry experts.
