Partnering With Udacity

These companies have elected to partner with Udacity because of who our students are—thinkers, doers, innovators. A Udacity student is a proven self-starter, a voracious consumer of knowledge, and someone who is armed with cutting-edge skills and the fierce desire to succeed. Udacity students are engaged in a continual process of reinvention, constantly challenging themselves to learn more, create more, achieve more. They are why—and how—progress happens.

“The Alexa team is dedicated to accelerating the field of conversational artificial intelligence. Udacity’s Artificial Intelligence Nanodegree program is aligned with our vision to advance the industry. As a contributor to the program, we’re excited for students to build new skills, and get access to a global pipeline of talented individuals looking to advance their careers.” —Rohit Prasad, VP & Head Scientist, Alexa

What Do Hiring Partners Mean For Students?

Our global hiring partners provide Udacity students from all over the world direct and preferential exposure to new jobs. We work directly with recruiters and hiring managers at each company to get our students fast-tracked into open opportunities. Students are evaluated for these positions based on skills, experience, and the projects showcased in their unique Udacity portfolios.

“The rapidly evolving telecommunications industry and the revolution of the Internet of Things bring us new opportunities but also challenges, for which we require specialists in data analytics and prediction models with a good business understanding. Our partnership with Udacity in the Predictive Analytics for Business program enables participants to acquire the skills we need to successfully face the challenges and decisively use the opportunities.” —Dr. Nanne von Hahn, Director Talent, Development & HR Strategy at Telefónica Germany

Hiring partnerships don’t guarantee you get hired, but they do ensure you get the direct exposure and exclusive opportunity to demonstrate why you’re the right one for the job. Plus, Udacity supports you every step of the way, so you can proceed with confidence, knowing you’re always putting your best foot forward.
