The rapid adoption of technology across industries and enterprises has led to a growing skills gap in the tech workforce. This is a major challenge for businesses and governments, as it can make it difficult to find qualified employees to fill open positions.

Red Hat Academy is a program designed to close the tech skills gap by collaborating with academic institutions and providing the future IT workforce with access to Red Hat's extensive training courses. Through Red Hat Academy, students can learn about a variety of open source tech, including system administration, cloud computing, devops, middleware and automation.

The impact of Red Hat Academy in Indonesia

In Indonesia, Red Hat Academy has had a significant impact on the tech industry. The program has trained thousands of students, many of whom have gone on to secure jobs in the open source field.

One of the most successful partnerships that Red Hat Academy has in Indonesia is with Al Azhar Indonesia University in Jakarta. This strategic partnership has provided students with access to the Red Hat Academy course content, hands-on lab, course attendance certificates and access to learning platforms and talent networks. Al Azhar Indonesia University has already trained over 200 students in various open source technologies such as system administration and OpenShift applications.

The success of Red Hat Academy in Indonesia is a testament to the need for such programs in developing countries. The tech industry is growing rapidly in Indonesia and there is a shortage of qualified IT professionals to meet the demand. Red Hat Academy is helping to bridge this gap by providing students with the skills they need to succeed in the tech industry.

In addition to training students, Red Hat Academy also provides them with opportunities to network with industry experts and get involved in the open source community. This helps students to gain practical experience and make connections that can help them in their careers.

"Seeing the engagement from our academies has been immensely gratifying.  Through our collaboration with the academies in Indonesia, we are committed to empowering both students and their instructors through comprehensive training in Red Hat and Open Source technologies skills. This strategic initiative aims to bolster Indonesia's industries by providing a skilled workforce, readily available to fuel growth in an intensely competitive landscape. The journey with Al Azhar Indonesia University Indonesia has been particularly inspiring." - Mr. Vikram Motiani, Senior Director, Global Learning Services (APAC)
