• The Revature Pace Program Provides Debt-Free Education for High-Demand Tech Jobs

The University of Arizona Global Campus (UAGC), a leading national online university, in partnership with Revature, a technology talent development company, announced the Revature PACE program, which offers a progressive and innovative path to developing the country’s workforce, particularly in the information technology field.

Revature hires recent college graduates and provides on-the-job training in high-demand software skills as they work on information technology projects for Revature’s corporate and government clients. In its partnership with UAGC, the Revature PACE Program provides a unique opportunity to Revature employees with a qualifying associate degree to accelerate their bachelor’s degree completion through UAGC while also launching a tech career. This paid training experience will be eligible for Prior Learning Assessment credit at UAGC and will be applied to select UAGC bachelor’s degree programs. The partnership program offers a full-tuition grant to PACE Program participants.

Additionally, the University of Arizona Global Campus and Revature partnership includes an employer-sponsored tuition program offering, under which qualifying Revature employees nationwide receive 40% off tuition for bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral programs.

“UAGC is proud to partner with Revature in providing a seamless course of action to obtaining a bachelor’s degree while already in the early stage of a tech career,” Paul Pastorek, President and CEO of UAGC, said. “Together, we can deliver lasting benefits to help elevate IT talent in the country’s workforce, as well as provide opportunities for those who are ready for the next step that taps into their potential as technology professionals.”

The PACE Program partnership between Revature and UAGC addresses the technology skills gap by developing opportunities for Software Engineers to gain the right skills needed to be enterprise-ready. Associate degree holders employed with Revature will receive 10 – 12 weeks of full-time remote tech training. Once eligible Revature employees are finished with their initial training period and work on client projects as tech professionals, they will access an exclusive pathway to earning their bachelor’s degree at UAGC.
