Crypto University, a South African-based cryptocurrency education platform, has partnered with Celo to launch a number of free cryptocurrency courses, aimed at upskilling especially female entrepreneurs.
The cryptocurrency training university, whose courses will equip users with tools and information to become a pro-investor or trader, is set to launch its Crypto Women’s Course on June 12, 2021.
Grey Jabesi, Crypto University’s founder, says this initiative will give women a headstart with cryptocurrency.
“Learning about crypto is a very useful skill today, it’s essential personally but also can open a lot of doors for both professionals and entrepreneurs.”
Cryptocurrency, according to Jabesi, is not just accelerating but changing lives. “However, we do not have enough women in this industry which is a major flaw if the goal is mass adoption. The women on our team decided to put this together as a way to encourage more women to get into Crypto,” Jabesi added.
The platform plans to launch a second free blockchain course on June 19, 2021, a course users can complete within a few hours at their convenience.
“This course was creatively designed to simplify everything. We used animation and illustrations to break things down. You can also take it further and learn how to build Decentralized Applications using the Celo blockchain,” Jabesi explains.
Through this course, users will learn everything there is to know about blockchain. This is vital knowledge in today’s economy, capable of accelerating careers no matter the field, and help in finding work at blockchain or crypto companies. The course will focus on the fundamentals of distributed ledger technology and how it works, and the Celo blockchain.
Cryptocurrency has been a very successful domain for the last few years. Some consider crypto as the biggest wealth transfer of the 21st century and almost everyone now knows of someone who changed their life for the better because of crypto.
“According to LinkedIn, Blockchain is among the highest paid jobs in the world. Having some knowledge about blockchain can open a lot of doors for most people especially in this digital globalized economy,” Jabesi says.
The course, according to Jabesi, will also have a hackathon for those interested in building a product on the Celo blockchain.
