At UNP, we curate several future-ready courses and upskilling programs together with our partners. Topics range from blockchain, sustainable finance, artificial intelligence and several other technologies with apparent future demand. However, there is one thing in common – the applications focus on sustainability.
For us, two imperatives of a successful course are – first, students understand the core technology and are ready to run with it independently; second, students learn the applications of these technologies in contributing to one of the 17 sustainable development goals. While applications in sustainability is a must, we teach other applications areas to provide a 360-degree view of the technology.
Our sustainability focus is not only the right thing to do; it’s also got special recognition in the future job market. Almost every organization today is trying its best to operate sustainably and support the planet. And to achieve the global goals for sustainability, we will require an army of data warriors trained on sustainable development.
