Tishk International University has collaborated with the Red Hat Academy. Red Hat Academy is an open source, web-deployed and web-managed education program that is designed to provide turnkey curriculum materials to academic institutions to start and sustain a open source and Linux curriculum program.
The Red Hat Academy helps educational institutions keep their pace with the demands in the IT industry along with helping students in reaching their academic and career potential. The Linux® platform, application services, and cloud technologies curriculum involves hands-on instruction built on the expertise of Red Hat development, support, and field consulting teams. Rather than learning theoretical skills, students learn practical skills based on use cases from thousands of enterprise implementations.
Red Hat Academy turns academic institutions into centers for enterprise-ready talent by outfitting them with Red Hat training. For more than a decade, Red Hat Academy has supplied high schools and institutions of higher education worldwide, that have the required technology and support environments, with hands-on instruction, curriculum, labs, performance-based testing, and instructor support. Red Hat Academy’s web-based curriculum helps create competencies through hands-on, performance-based learning and testing.
This collaboration is aimed at strengthening the university ties with one of the world’s leading open-source software solutions company to bridge the skill gap between academia and industry. TIU’s involvement with the Red Hat Academy, which is the 1st signed collaboration in Kurdistan Region and the 2nd in Iraq, will further enhance the university’s reputation as a technology education leader both nationally and worldwide.
