Description
Many industries are in the process of outsourcing their entire computing power to cloud computing platforms reducing information Technology costs significantly. This shift to cloud computing represents opportunities for companies and high-paying positions for individuals. However, there is a shortage of skilled workers to support the massive migration and maintenance to cloud computing. Kura Labs helps by training high-performing, under-resourced students and graduates from CUNY, private colleges, and community-based organizations (CBOs). Since its inception, Kura Labs has trained and placed nearly one-hundred engineers at Fortune 1000 companies and venture-backed startups, with most earning starting salaries of $100K. Its efficacy stems from its vast network of employers and unique focus on deep exploration of the vast array of real-world problems and challenges facing businesses and enterprises, and developing optimal solutions based on various technological tools/applications. Continued Corporation support will allow Kura Labs to keep engaging employers and colleges to train and connect highly talented and diverse students to fill the need for a skilled workforce in Cloud Computing. Another major goal is to increase the number of people trained, resulting in immediate and significant mobility in underserved communities in New York City and the United States.

This shift to cloud computing represents a multi-trillion-dollar opportunity for companies and high-paying positions for individuals with skills in this field. However, there is a shortage of skilled workers that can support the massive migration and maintenance to cloud computing. Kura Labs bridges the gap between the existing and growing corporate need and the shortage of skilled workers by training high-performing under-resourced students and graduates from CUNY, private colleges, and community-based organizations (CBOs). These colleges and CBOs represent an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse pool of candidates that are facing additional challenges due to the COVID-19 crisis. Corporation support will help Kura Labs continue to engage employers and colleges to train and connect highly talented and diverse students to fill current staffing needs that exist within Cloud Computing.
