Do you or your institution need help to fill the gaps in training for cloud and research computing? Join us for the second, advanced cohort of the Cloud Learning and Skills Sessions (CLASS) this summer.
This program provides research and computing data professionals (those who support researchers) with training to leverage cloud platforms for research. We are now accepting applications for the cohort, which begins on May 27 and will be complete by August 20. Get all the details on how to prepare, what you’ll learn, how to join the class, and review the schedule.
The summer cohort is geared toward research computing and data professionals with existing knowledge of cloud platforms who need to develop more complex workflows that leverage advanced services. The program emphasizes hands-on learning and utilizes a cohort model for peer-to-peer learning and community.
