Hands-on training and RPA certification to address worldwide automation skills shortage

Automation Anywhere, the global leader in enterprise Robotic Process Automation (RPA), announced the founding of Automation Anywhere University (AAU), an educational program aimed at training students and upskilling existing workers in RPA technology.

Addressing the global need for further education in this field, the program consists of specialist training, onsite instructor led courses, an online eLearning portal and a certification and testing center, all to address the global need for more education in RPA.

Certified students will be fully equipped to take advantage of the explosive growth of Digital Workforces, software bots that augment the human workforce.

Recent findings from the Career Advisory Board  cast a light on the growing technology skills gap – only 11 percent of organizations believe that colleges and universities are providing graduates with skills to fill the tech needs of their businesses and institutions.

Among the technology fields experiencing rapid growth is RPA, a relatively new technology that, as a job title, didn’t exist two years ago and now has hundreds of current job listings on LinkedIn.
