Holberton School NHV recognized by US Senator as “Innovator of the Month”

We’re proud to announce that Holberton School New Haven, one of our US campuses based in Connecticut, has just been recognized by Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) as “Murphy’s Innovator of the Month.”

In partnership with District Innovation and Venture Center (DIVC), a Connecticut-based non-profit, we opened up our first remote US campus in New Haven. This campus addresses the shortage of qualified and diverse tech talent in Connecticut. Currently, there are over 2,500 open software engineering jobs in the state, but in 2016 CT-based institutions only graduated around 430 students with Computer Science degrees. The training provided by Holberton helps to close this talent gap, and we are looking forward to our program’s graduates being a core part of Connecticut’s plan for future economic development.

This recognition validates that the hard work of our students and staff is making waves and inroads while bringing economic growth and change to the local communities Holberton is a part of.
