Connecting student learning to careers
The Epicenter is dedicated to augmenting students’ academic curriculum with project-based experiential learning in collaboration with industry partners.
Did you know that only 44%
of job postings in 2021 required a traditional 4-year degree?
Since 2017, this percentage has only gone down. Companies such as Google and Amazon are starting to hire based on certifications and training and not just traditional college degrees.
The Epicenter at UCLA
offers students STEM certifications & project-based learning opportunities, solving real-world problems in collaboration with industry partners.
All speakers, instructors, and experts are from the industry.
Topics include:
Cloud (AWS, Google)
Data Science (Tableau)
