About 20 students from the University of Wyoming and several of the state’s community colleges will gain hands-on training in software development starting later this month.
The two-week intensive experience will be used to pilot an innovative program in software development through a partnership involving Cardiff University in Wales, United Kingdom; UW; Wyoming community colleges; and industry partners in the state. The online program will help UW and the community colleges accomplish their objective of preparing Wyoming residents to participate in the 21st century workforce and diversify the state’s economy.
The initial pilot cohort of students will be selected by faculty members at UW and Wyoming community colleges. Starting March 27, they’ll work on a short software development project with industry partner Trihydro Corp., an environmental engineering consulting firm based in Laramie.
