Why Udacity CEO Sebastian Thrun is rolling out

by Jason McCormick, Silicon Valley Business Journal


“There’s a huge skills gap. At some level, we’re trying to fill that skills gap,” said Thrun, who also is director of Stanford University’s Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. We’re trying to give people a chance to find the right skills and build a pathway for them to learn the latest education in those spaces.” It’s all a part of online education growing up, and reflects a move into the professional skills market we documented back in November. Udacity has partnered in its new program with a number of large employers, including AT&T Inc. and Google Inc. The nanodegree programs will launch in the fall and focus on entry-level Web development and data analytics.
