Companies do still value degrees more than skills. This is an actual incident that happened to me a few days ago. Which made me feel devastated. At Vertocity, we upskill learners in the fields of Data Science, Analytics & Full Stack and help them find opportunities in relevant domains. 40% of learners have a gap on their resume or women willing to restart their career etc. Everyone who falls into this category is considered freshers even though they have a little experience in the non-tech domains. I am always an advocate for "Degrees don't matter, skills do" in most of the scenarios. A recruiter approached us to interview a few of our Data Science learners, and we shared resumes with him. When we shared resumes with the company, they shortlisted learners with a technical education background only and only those who do not have a work gap on their resumes. 🚀 Every company does have its criteria for hiring w.r.t to the candidate's educational background. 🚀 Most companies hiring for tech roles might not encourage freshers from non-tech backgrounds to join their companies. But something that recruiters should also understand. 1️⃣ A person with a BBA degree can write code in python with little training. 2️⃣ A person with a hotel management degree can upskill himself and create dashboards on power-bi 3️⃣ A person with B.Sc does also have a chance to become a data analyst with good training. Instead of directly disqualifying the candidate, recruiters should have a look at the candidates. 🔬 Projects 🔎 Portfolio 🦾 How did he upskill 🧾 GitHub profile / Hacker rank scores etc. Many edtech platforms around the country are working on this problem statement. They can send their students only to startups where skills are valued more than degrees. But, mid-level organizations are still in the same above-said notion. This is a generic perspective from the student world. If your views differ, please do let me know in the comments.

M12 - Microsoft's Venture Fund is partnering with GitHub to invest in the next generation of open-source entrepreneurs. ​The ​M12 GitHub Fund​ will ​create a committed pool of capital to invest in the future of open-source software, supporting startups developing on GitHub’s platform.

Believing AI is extremely difficult is what stops most people from learning it. This is a limiting belief, a lie that we create in our minds. Instead, try this: - Run one of the notebooks in Recommenders repo. - Execute the basic pretrained examples in Huggingface Transformers. - Create a codebase of small utility functions. You'll start building your confidence and your GitHub portfolio. Start today! Vamos!!!🦾🦾🦾 ____ #ai #machinelearning #datascience

In recent months, the rise of generative AI models has triggered widespread recognition that the age of AI has begun. But until now, generative AI has largely benefited the individual. That’s changing today, as we widely release GitHub Copilot for Business to every team, organization and enterprise. 🤖 Already, Copilot is helping developers write code 55% faster, with developers reporting feeling 75% more fulfilled (aka happier!). Imagine the benefits of putting GitHub Copilot in the hands of 100-, 1,000-, or even 10,000-person development teams. For an organization, developers fixing bugs faster means your product and supply chain is more secure. Developers manually writing less boilerplate over and over again means your teams are more productive and focused. Developers being able to learn and onboard new technologies means they can deliver better solutions for your customers. Ultimately, Copilot for Business gives developers the ability to build for tomorrow instead of spending all their time bogged down with the problems of today. Empowering developers with the power of AI is how every organization can win the future. There is so much more to come from us on this front soon. 🚀 Read more in the official blog below.

Have you noticed how recently Microsoft Teams and Zoom started to promote connecting third-party apps during calls? Great article about this by my partner Shlomi Matichin! SaaS applications are now complex platforms that make it easy for employees to adopt collaboration and automation capabilities, onboard new third-party vendors via OAuth and marketplaces, and more. These SaaS platforms encourage users to adopt these capabilities with little to no security review which expands the SaaS risk surface. Since you can't (and don't want to) deny employees from accessing these modern SaaS functionalities, and to avoid becoming the victim of the next SaaS breach like the recent GitHub OAuth attack campaigns, organizations must work together with business users to collaboratively secure SaaS adoption.
