Overview
If you like thinking outside the box and get energized at creating value through efficiency — you’ll love Robotic Process Automation (RPA). RPA is a pivotal technology that brings automation and efficiency to business processes. By emulating human interactions through the use of automation software, RPA allows organizations to create digital workers capable of completing repetitive computer-based tasks with precision and speed.
Organizations across all industries — from energy to finance, healthcare and more — are realizing the benefits of RPA in their digital transformation process. RPA provides opportunities to spend time and resources on the more strategic, value-add aspects of business operations, with applications in finance, accounting, customer service, human resources, supply chain and more.
Graduates of the RPA bootcamp will have a foundational RPA skillset augmented with an understanding of strategy and industry best practices — a combination designed to prepare you for the evolving demands of the workforce as technology continues to transform the economy. Globally informed but locally driven, this bootcamp is perfect for early to mid-career professionals who are interested in becoming an RPA developer, analyst or architect. This bootcamp offers the option to customize your learning experience by choosing one of two industry-leading RPA platforms: UIPath or Microsoft Power Automate. As a new graduate, you’ll bring immediate value to any company looking to implement or scale its RPA practices.
