Shayan: Tishk International University has joined forces with the Red Hat Academy and gained a new opportunity to access open-source training by signing an official partnership between the two sides.
This partnership is aimed at strengthening the university ties with one of the world’s leading open-source software solution companies to bridge the skill gap between academia and industry. The partnership will also provide the next generation of IT talents with access to a wide range of training courses and certification exams.
