Scaler, an education start-up in India, has announced the launch of a new upskilling program for IT professionals looking to specialise in DevOps and cloud computing. The curriculum has been designed after research conducted with more than senior DevOps leaders in the industry.
The curriculum covers topics essential to these roles, including Python, Data Structures and Algorithms, DevOps Tools, and AWS, and provides numerous real-world assignments to facilitate hands-on learning.
Enrollment in the program requires no prior coding experience and is open to beginners with an interest in entering the industry as a DevOps engineer or a Site Reliability Engineer (SRE). The course will run for 12 months and equip learners for positions across the following categories: DevOps Engineer, Cloud Engineer, and Cloud Associate.
The program also offers optional electives that will prepare learners for SRE, Infrastructure and Platform Engineering roles. Speaking on the launch of the new program, Abhimanyu Saxena, co-founder of InterviewBit & Scaler, said, "The growing demand for DevOps and SRE is a testament to their necessity in modern technology environments, with companies willing to pay between Rs 8 lakhs and Rs 15 Lakhs per annum and beyond to competent experts."
The program offers 1-on-1 mentorship as well as teacher assistance, providing personalised guidance and supporting learners through their academic journey. Similarly, in 2023, Scaler joined forces with NSDC, aligning with the #SkillIndia mission. They also launched Scaler Topics, a unique and free, gamified learn-to-code platform offering high-quality tech content for anyone with a spark of interest in software development.
