programs for high-demand tech jobs
Columbia University’s School of Engineering and Applied Science
today announced an innovative new partnership with Wiley’s (NYSE:
WLY) industry-leading talent development solution, Wiley Edge.
These two leading educational organizations are helping to close
the labor market gap in technology skills by combining Columbia
Engineering’s cutting-edge innovation with Wiley Edge’s expertise
in building job-ready talent for multinational corporations.
With this partnership, Wiley Edge graduates can now earn
certificates from Columbia Engineering by completing training
programs for high-demand roles in technology, business and
banking.
The labor market continues to be challenged by talent shortages
and skills gaps, particularly in technology and digital skills.
These gaps are expected to cost businesses trillions of dollars by
the end of the decade, including $162 billion annually in the
technology sector alone.
Columbia Engineering’s partnership with Wiley Edge addresses
these pervasive labor market challenges. In alignment with Columbia
Engineering’s longstanding commitment to creating and offering
experiential learning opportunities, this program will provide
participants with professional experience and resources to expand
their career opportunities at an accelerated rate.
“Our partnership with Wiley creates a unique opportunity in
which Wiley Edge talent can take the lessons gathered in a
classroom and apply them in a hands-on setting where they receive
direct feedback from industry professionals,” said Soulaymane
Kachani, Senior Vice Provost of Columbia University. “It is
specifically designed to prepare them for an accelerated ramp into
today’s workforce. We are excited to collaborate with Wiley Edge to
deliver impactful solutions to pressing labor challenges and expect
our partnership to provide an important advantage to those who need
advanced technological expertise early in their careers.”
Wiley Edge harnesses a Hire-Train-Deploy model through which
college graduates are hired by Wiley Edge and trained at the Wiley
Edge Academy in technology and business learning pathways. After
completing their training, Wiley Edge graduates are deployed to one
of Wiley’s multinational corporate clients for 12-24 months before
transitioning into full-time roles with those organizations.
“Wiley Edge’s partnership with Columbia University addresses the
persistent gap for skilled technology talent,” said Todd Zipper,
Wiley’s executive vice president and general manager, talent
segment. “Together, we will equip Wiley Edge graduates with the
skills they need to succeed in some of the hardest-to-fill jobs in
today’s economy. We applaud Columbia’s commitment to applied
learning in pursuit of this goal and look forward to building on
this effort to further support our Wiley Edge graduates and client
companies around the world.”
“In STEM fields, it is essential to provide opportunities to
engage with professionals and industry experts,” said Shih-Fu
Chang, Dean of Columbia Engineering. “The experiential learning
opportunities our partnership with Wiley Edge will provide will be
invaluable for participants as they seek insights and understanding
of applying their knowledge in real-world scenarios.”
Over the last three years, Wiley Edge has tripled its portfolio
of corporate clients and quadrupled the number of college graduates
trained and placed in technology, business and banking roles at
multinational corporations.
