Experts from Red Hat, the world’s leading open-source software company, will be at Fayetteville Technical Community College on Oct. 13 to discuss job opportunities and training options in the booming information technology sector.
The event is free and open to the public. It will be held from noon to 3 p.m. in Room 108 of FTCC’s General Classroom Building at 2817 Fort Bragg Road.
People can attend up to four informative sessions about how learning and being well-versed in Linux and other Linux-based technologies can help propel IT careers. Attendees will be able to ask questions, network with representatives from Red Hat and learn about Red Hat training opportunities offered at FTCC.
FTCC has two Red Hat programs:
- Red Hat Certified System Administrator (RHCSA) involves short-term non-credit courses that prepare students to take the RHCSA exam. Students who pass the exam are positioned for jobs in the high-demand IT field and are better qualified for positions surrounding Linux, System Administration and the cloud. RHCSA is ideal for veterans and transitioning members of the military who may be eligible to take the course for free through FTCC’s Transition Tech program.
- Red Hat Academy is a college-level curriculum program that enables students to use Red Hat resources and take certification exams at discounted prices. The program enables students to progress quickly toward employment in the field of open-source software solutions.
