We've partnered with Tacit Edge for years to create game-changing technology education. InceptionU is focused on addressing the skills gaps in our ever-evolving digital economy.
Product Management is an instrumental part of this mission. Tacit Edge's content was plug-and-play and we are already seeing benefits from including Product Management in our programs. We have added their course and content to our Tech Adjacent program, which prepares folks for careers in tech-adjacent roles, and our full-stack developer program.
Our partnership with Tacit Edge allowed us to bring this skillset on-demand to 40 learners and augment their essential skills for the future. Product Management is an essential skill set for folks in technology who want to build impactful products that solve problems for users. It's not just for Product Managers. We've seen this skill set improve the focus and outcomes of our students and their project-based work, and working with Tacit Edge couldn't have been easier.
We went from conversations to launch in 3 weeks.
