UCalgary NoCode Professional Education Program
Transform your career by enhancing your digital skills
Elevate your digital skills without having to code
Every company is now a tech company, and increasingly, every job role requires digital skills. With global demand growing for talent with specific tech skills such as IT automation, AI and machine learning and cloud technology to name a few, the need to invest in one’s digital skillset is becoming more crucial.
Recognizing the critical need to equip the workforce with the digital skills necessary to flourish in the modern workplace, Haskayne School of Business at the University of Calgary is proud to introduce what is believed to be the first university-based no-code professional education program. This micro-credential program will provide professionals of any background with the skills to harness the power of AI, automations and no-code app builders in business applications.
NoCode is introducing new avenues of opportunity as one no longer needs to be a programmer to build software. NoCode allows you to harness the full power of the internet, including the latest AI technologies, leveraging them as building blocks for your vision through integrations. Whether you are improving processes in an organization or launching your own start-up, with NoCode you can become a citizen developer – building software solutions to the problems you face in your work and your life.
Grounded in experiential and work-integrated learning
Experiential learning opportunities are available throughout the program. Learners are given the option to undertake a final work-integrated learning project, completed in tandem with an organization eager to take advantage of no-code tools. This project will give learners the chance to apply their skills based on the organization’s unique needs. Courses are also grounded in experiential learning techniques such as hands-on exercises, real-world problem solving to create viable solutions, industry engagement and career development workshops, group work and opportunities to work with leading-edge software tools.
NoCode certificate completion will empower professionals to excel in their careers, broaden their skillset and heighten their employability in an increasingly digitally focused economy.
