HANGZHOU, China, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- NetEase Cloud
Classroom, a platform offering online courses mainly targeting
adults in China operated by
Youdao, Inc. (NYSE: DAO), announced that it introduced around 100
free-to-use digital training courses offered by Amazon Web
Services, an Amazon.com, Inc. company (NASDAQ: AMZN). Adding to
NetEase Cloud Classroom's robust offering, the AWS training
courses, created by AWS experts, are designed to help learners
learn best cloud practices about dozens of AWS services and
solutions.
The IT industry has been under the spotlight alongside the rapid
advancement of cloud computing, artificial intelligence, big data
and the Internet of Things (IoT). Nevertheless, there continues to
be a significant gap between the supply of high-quality IT talents
and demand. Localized in Simplified Chinese, the AWS courses on
NetEase Cloud Classroom range from 10 minutes to several hours,
covering content on AWS cloud concepts, core services, security,
architecture, pricing, support systems, among others. The
courses also cover topics such as artificial intelligence, machine
learning, architecture design, database, networking and security.
Training can also help learners prepare for AWS Certification
exams, which have become highly valuable assets to potential
employers.
"Nowadays, the next generation of information technology is
developing aggressively. Cloud skills have changed how people live
and work hence creating significant learning requirements for
market participants. Now, they can access the training content
created by the world's leading cloud providers with the ease of
NetEase Cloud Classroom. We hope to help people in China improve their skills and propel the
overall development of cloud computing talent in China," said Dr. Feng
Zhou, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Youdao.
Maureen Lonergan, Vice President
of AWS Training and Certification, added, "AWS is committed to
cultivating local cloud talent with world-leading cloud technology
and experiences, while accelerating the sustainable development of
the digital economy. We're excited our learners in Chinese mainland
could enjoy the content they want on a platform they're familiar
with so they can begin or continue their learning journey in the
AWS Cloud."
NetEase Cloud Classroom has been providing online courses for
adult vocational education and training since 2012 making it easy
and convenient to learn with fast download speeds, high-quality
video-streaming, and fully localized content whether in online or
offline environments. In addition to vocational skills improvement
courses, it also offers word-of-mouth courses covering fields such
as practical English and memorization. At present, the number of
