EdTechReview.in has recently reported on the exciting news that V School, the online training platform that teaches coding and design, has raised a growth funding round from Decathlon Capital Partners.
V School has huge ambitions and is on a mission to help more veterans, BIPOC and women launch successful careers in technology. The startup plans to use the funds to launch new cybersecurity and digital marketing academic programs and to continue expanding its technology training platform.
V School offers web development, UX/UI design, and cybersecurity courses and uses a responsive learning model to customize each curriculum to the individual student’s background and learning needs. This ensures that the student can progress based on mastery of skills, not course hours or credits.
Students have access to a wide range of materials and can build their own living portfolio by working on real-life projects. This helps to fill experience gaps and leads to greater success in landing the desired job in tech.
Co-founder & CEO of V School, Michael Zaro, said: “V School’s responsive learning technique sets it apart from universities and technology bootcamps. Our graduates are landing jobs in the tech industry at two times the average rate of university graduates or bootcamp attendees. That’s due to our responsive learning model, which allows students to progress based on mastery of skills and not course hours or credits. They are fully immersed in hands-on projects and always have access to all the materials they may need, which lets them move on to new skills on their timeline.”
Decathlon Capital Partners Vice President, Matt Hoffman, commented on the investment: “V School’s dedication to eliminating barriers for people interested in the tech space has helped its exceptional growth. As V School continues to grow its student population and make the technology industry more accessible through its income share agreement and scholarships, Decathlon Capital Partners is excited to see the expansion of its programs and the launch of new ones.”
V School is revolutionizing the education technology space and making it more accessible to those who need it. With the new funds, the platform is sure to expand and continue providing students with the tools and resources that they need to succeed in the tech industry.
