★ About the Company:
NexGenT was founded on the belief that education is for everyone, that the ideal educational system should be based on real-world skills training; that it cannot leave people in debt with degrees that don’t teach the required skills needed to succeed in the workforce. Education should prepare people to be job-ready just like military training does. We’re on a mission to disrupt tech education and help people level up with real world training developed by world class engineers and mentors.
