Partnership tears down the wall between work
and education, attracting and developing talent for the new
economy
Kenzie Academy and Kelly Services launched a partnership to
tackle the education demands of the nation’s workforce with a new
“Earn and Learn” model. On the heels of Kelly’s recent investment
in Kenzie, this alliance directly addresses one of the biggest
barriers blocking many learners from returning to school: earning a
paycheck while enrolled. Through the partnership, Kenzie students
have access to flexible, part-time, at-home jobs with Kelly
Services. Simultaneously, these same students will participate in
Kenzie’s fast-paced, cutting-edge curriculum, giving them the
skills needed to land high-demand, high-paying tech jobs.
“At Kenzie, we have redesigned higher education to work for
students,” said Chok Ooi, co-founder and CEO of Kenzie Academy.
“Thanks to Kelly Services, we are leveling the playing field for
students from all backgrounds to access high-quality, accelerated
training programs that will lead to a career in tech.”
Kenzie students can earn well-above minimum wage in Kelly roles
designed to work with class schedules. Whether attending Kenzie
in-person or online, students can earn much-needed income, while
gaining additional soft skills and professional development to set
them up for success.
“Kelly Services is committed to investing in future talent
through dedicated programs that support the retraining and
upskilling of today’s workers,” said Rick Wallace, vice president
of Strategic Initiatives for Kelly Services. “Technology continues
to drive major changes in the way we work. This innovative
partnership between Kelly Services and Kenzie Academy will develop
talent to meet future workplace needs."
Nationally, the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimates the economy
will need as many as 100,000 new information technology workers per
year over the next decade. Right now, only about 60,000 of these
workers enter the workforce each year. Kenzie Academy moves
students quickly through one- to two-year, hands-on, project-based
curriculum that produces software engineers, UX engineers and
digital marketers with the skills and professional experience to
immediately engage in the workforce.
Kenzie is accepting applications now for its January courses
that will be available online or at its campus locations in
Indianapolis.
