We are thrilled to officially announce Codeup’s acquisition of Rackspace Cloud Academy!
Rackspace Cloud Academy provided bootcamp-style technical training in network administration and cybersecurity skills. It has been operated by Rackspace since 2013, reaching nearly 1,000 students in order to elevate the workforce of South Texas. The 13-week programs include System Administration and Cyber Cloud curriculums. It is now fully owned by Codeup!
We will now offer the Rackspace Cloud Academy programs at Codeup alongside our 22-week Data Science and Full-Stack Web Development programs! This means more than double the career options for you and more tech talent for our employer partners. With a more robust menu of programs, we’re confident that Codeup will be the go-to place for anyone interested in launching a tech career, not just developers and data scientists. We now have more variety in price range, program duration, skill sets, and long-term career goals.
"This acquisition presents great, new opportunities for our company and also the students and professionals who we will be able to serve. Codeup will now have a larger footprint of campuses and classrooms across Texas, adding 80 percent more classrooms. Additionally, we will further diversify our product offerings by price point, subject, and entrance requirements, allowing Codeup to find the right path for even more applicants." - Jason Straughan, Codeup CEO
