Glendale Community College and Estrella Mountain Community College, in Avondale, invite the public to the grand opening of the Microsoft Datacenter Academy on Wednesday, May 4.
An open house will take place from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. in the academy located on the ground floor of Estrella Hall on the Avondale campus at 3000 N. Dysart Road.
The Datacenter Academy is the result of a collaboration between Glendale and Estrella Mountain, and Microsoft. It serves students from both colleges, preparing them for high-demand jobs in the IT sector, including in Microsoft Datacenters.
The collaboration is part of the Microsoft Datacenter Academy program, which helps build digital skills and provides career pathways in the growing information technology sector for residents of communities in which Microsoft operates datacenters. Microsoft opened a Datacenter in El Mirage last year and has plans to open two more in Goodyear in the near future.
