Banking and career goals are finally reaching the masses with Solvent and Udacity stepping up

Let’s keep it 100 - banking goals and financial education doesn’t typically reach everyone despite the fact they should. Fortunately, it’s 2023 and power moves are being made on a frequent basis so seeing Solvent and Udacity linking up to offer technology job training and career readiness to all is beyond exciting.

It’s all about stepping it up, up and away

Whether it’s helping presently and formerly incarcerated people to the family of those individuals, Solvent is here to come to the rescue for all with this major partnership.

Solvent announced its partnership with Udacity in an effort to provide access to  technology job training and career readiness for System Impacted individuals, via Udacity’s nanodegree programs and scholarships. This latest partnership is another step in Solvent’s mission to empower socioeconomically disadvantaged and formerly incarcerated individuals with tools, products, and services for financial empowerment and wealth building.

This first partnership initiative will be offering Solvent’s System Impacted members and individuals access to Udacity’s OneTen/BIT (Blacks In Technology) Scholarship Program. This scholarship program is focused on Black job-seekers with an interest in tech who do not have a 4-year degree.

“Udacity has played a significant role in my personal life story and professional career journey to redemption. I was not only able to upskill with Udacity’s digital marketing nanodegree program, which positioned me for a high-paying job in the technology industry, but I went on to become a Udacity employee, which changed the trajectory of my professional and personal life. To now come full circle and partner with Udacity to empower the lives of other System Impacted individuals speaks volumes to both of our company’s commitment to transformation and empowerment via education.”, says DIVINE, CEO and Founder of Solvent.

With Udacity being the trusted market leader in technology talent transformation, Solvent sees this partnership as a natural fit with their goal of providing previously underserved and overlooked communities with all of the tools necessary to achieve financial empowerment and optimize their financial lives. Udacity changes lives, businesses, and nations through digital upskilling, which compliments Solvent’s financial literacy and entrepreneurship education content and curriculum offerings. 

Solvent will be actively supporting and promoting Udacity’s OneTen/BIT Scholarship Program, which aims to help eager learners looking to advance their skills in business analytics, digital marketing, or front end web development and prepare them for a high-paying tech job, or to start a business of their own.
