BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – “Commonwealth Coders” a 16-week training course that prepares participants for a career as a Junior Web Developer will debut across the commonwealth this fall as a collaborative effort between the South Central, Cumberlands, Bluegrass and Northern Kentucky Workforce Boards.
The course, led by BC Skills Development Academy, was initially piloted between the South Central and Cumberlands Workforce Development Boards as a hybrid effort this spring. The success of that initial venture and the growing demand for web developers, especially ones who can work remotely, led to the course’s expansion.
The course is set to be in a hybrid format for South Central and Cumberlands participants while completely virtual for Bluegrass and Northern Kentucky students. While no previous computer/coding experience is required, solid algebra skills along with a strong determination to succeed are both highly recommended for participants.
