Business Management Solutions Company's
Successful Initiative Provides Hands-On ERP System Training to
Equip Students with In-Demand Skills
BELLEVUE, Wash., July 11,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- To help address the growing
demand for cloud-based business solutions and the resulting need
for skilled technical professionals, Acumatica today announced that
it plans to expand a program offering college-level courses
designed to prepare digital-native students for the workforce. The
Acumatica College Education Program, which specializes in providing
hands-on experience with the Acumatica Cloud ERP solution, is now
branching out to other colleges to replicate successful learning
experiences and further equip more students with essential
skills.
As businesses evolve with rapid technological advancements,
there's an increasing demand for programs that arm a new generation
with necessary STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math)
skills. Acumatica is leading the way in ensuring graduates are
prepared to meet the expectations of modern employers and
contribute effectively from their first day of employment.
The initial beta program, developed by Infinity Resources
Management (IRM), was successfully launched in 2023 at Farmingdale
State College, part of the State University of
New York (SUNY) system. In
May 2024, Farmingdale celebrated the graduation of its
second Acumatica ERP class. All graduates received an Acumatica
Welcome badge and Business Consultant certification upon completing
the course. Plans are underway to develop and introduce more
courses to additional colleges, including the Sam M. Walton College
of Business at the University of
Arkansas, the School of Management at the University of Michigan-Flint and the University of Hawaii Maui College.
"We're committed to providing more students with the essential
skills and knowledge they need in real-world situations through
firsthand experience with our innovative business technology," said
John Case, CEO of Acumatica. "Our
College Education Program not only empowers a new generation of
digital natives with skills that are in high demand but also
addresses a growing need for technical expertise to help businesses
transform their operations."
The comprehensive course gives students a thorough understanding
of an ERP system's principles and fundamental processes. Using
Acumatica ERP and a Learning Management System (LMS), students
benefit from an immersive online learning experience featuring
text, videos, case studies of Acumatica customers and hands-on use
of the Acumatica Cloud ERP software. For students who complete the
courses, recruitment support from TwentyAI is available, helping
them transition smoothly into the workforce.
"This program is not just about education—it's about molding
career pathways. We're bridging the gap between academic training
and real-world employment," said Gene
Caiola, managing partner at IRM. "We're confident that
students with Acumatica Cloud ERP skills will be highly sought
after in the workforce, setting them up for long-term professional
success."
