Summary:
Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin, has established an educational branch named Tether Edu. This unit will provide courses, workshops, and resources aimed at developing skills in blockchain technology and associated digital areas. With a focus on emerging markets across various regions, the initiative will also embrace topics like design, artificial intelligence, and coding. Tether Edu will consolidate the company's existing educational endeavors, and some of the material may require payment. The yet-to-be-launched project is recruiting HR and financial executives and is part of the increasing trend of blockchain education worldwide.
In an effort to bolster skills within the sphere of blockchain technology and related digital realms, Tether has established an educational division. This unit will dispense a mix of courses, workshops, and an array of other resources, courtesy of industry experts and pathfinders. The unit, branded as Tether Edu, represents an expansion of Tether, the world's largest stablecoin issuer with a flagship product in the form of Tether (USDT).
Tether Edu's primary attention will be on burgeoning markets spread across Africa, Latin America, the Middle East, Europe, the Asia region and the Commonwealth of Independent States. Along with the cornerstone focus on blockchain, the unit will expand its educational reach to incorporate other facets such as design, artificial intelligence, and coding.
Additionally, Tether Edu is set to unify the company's pre-existing educational programs, as per a public announcement. The list of ongoing initiatives includes partnerships with Georgia's Academy of Digital Industry and Thailand-based crypto exchange, Bitkub. Besides, Tether supports the Lugano-based Plan B Summer School in Switzerland.
Tether's CEO, Paolo Ardoino, reiterated the sentiment by stating, “In our book, financial tools, USDt for instance, go beyond transactional utilities to becoming potent change agents to transform the economic landscape. And education symbolizes the backbone of this transformative journey.”
In a message on X, Ardoino hinted that a portion of the forthcoming material might not be freely accessible. The recently announced project, which is yet to be launched, is actively scouting for expertise in the domains of human resources and finance.
Tether is stepping into a domain abundant with crypto firms offering assorted educational materials, varying from online aids to courses like those by XRPL, providing free access to nine hours of XRP Ledger programming training available on its platform. Other companies propose more refined material, applying the likes of the program by Trezor in West Africa. And then, you have the paid certification courses facilitated by entities such as the Blockchain Council and the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals.
In the formal education space, courses relating to blockchain technology are gaining traction around the globe. Several established educational institutes, ranging from the likes of MIT or the University of Oxford to smaller, local establishments, are starting to introduce blockchain-centric courses. This further testifies the growing institutional interest, spurred by the increasing demand from technology behemoths such as IBM, Oracle, Cisco, Amazon, and Google, and leading industrial operators yearning for blockchain knowledgeable workforce.
Online platforms such as Coursera feature a library of 832 offerings in the “Blockchain” section, many of which are either free or come at a relatively low cost. These materials are put forward by universities and prominent corporations, with 25 of the Coursera courses catering to the more advanced user base.
