Marymount University welcomed representatives from the world’s leading streaming entertainment service, <\/span>Netflix<\/span><\/a>, and education technology leader <\/span>2U, Inc.<\/span><\/a> this month to speak directly with students about an upcoming opportunity for greater access and opportunity into the tech industry \u2013 the <\/span>Netflix Pathways Bootcamp<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In June, Marymount <\/span>announced the partnership<\/span><\/a> to offer students three semester-long, fully-virtual online learning programs in the areas of data science, Java engineering and UX\/UI. The technical training program also partners students with experienced mentors who offer career advice and guidance.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOne of the program goals is learning industry-relevant skills,\u201d explained Victor Scotti, Netflix Pathways Bootcamp Lead. \u201cThere\u2019s a gap that we all experience between college and career \u2013 so how can we, at the university level, provide more exposure and access? What are some of the skills that major tech companies are looking for? We\u2019ve baked this information into the curriculum.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Victor<\/p>\n

More than a dozen students arrived at the University\u2019s Ballston Center to hear from Scotti and Christopher Beaufort, Senior Student Success Manager at 2U. Together, they offered information on how to apply for the 16-week, fully virtual program, in addition to describing the mission of partnering with <\/span>Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs)<\/span><\/a> like Marymount and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

“This program works to encourage diversity within the tech industry by supporting the continued growth of students from underrepresented backgrounds,” Beaufort said. “We\u2019re focused on upskilling their talents and preparing students to become competitive candidates in the industry.”<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe take our commitment to equity and inclusion extremely seriously, and our program is built on a student-centered model,\u201d Scotti added. \u201cThe student experience \u2013 across academics, mentorship and even the fun that we have \u2013 is paramount to our mission.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

Among the Marymount students who attended the session was Seth Acapulco, a Filipino student pursuing a degree in <\/span>Information Technology<\/span><\/a> with a specialty in <\/span>Cybersecurity<\/span><\/a>. He admits that he hadn\u2019t heard of the Bootcamp program before, but decided to attend the event alongside fellow students Daniel Stone and Belal Ahmed Ali.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Seth<\/p>\n

\u201cI think this was a pretty unique experience \u2013 an opportunity to meet professionals from important organizations,\u201d Acapulco said. \u201c<\/span>I have always had a passion for technology, specifically how technology is integrated into businesses and cybersecurity. This bootcamp program would allow me to be more hands on and learn more about how concepts, such as programming and data science, are implemented within services at Netflix.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Prospective participants also had the chance to hear firsthand from their peers currently in the program, including Brianna Johnson, a Black senior student pursuing a degree in Information Technology with double minors in <\/span>Computer Science<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Mathematics<\/span><\/a>. Johnson was accepted into the University\u2019s inaugural Pathways cohort, which launched at Marymount in August. A self-proclaimed coding lover, she\u2019s currently studying the program\u2019s Java focus. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"Marymount<\/p>\n

\u201cThe thing I liked best about the program is that we learn what real people in the tech industry are doing on the job,\u201d Johnson explained. \u201cI was excited to work with someone who is in the field and can give me guidance and expertise about their work. I gained career readiness and I really enjoyed it!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Many more students will have the opportunity to grow their knowledge base as the program expands to offer advanced bootcamps in the near future. <\/span><\/p>\n
