Meanwhile, the group will work closely with the Saratoga Partnership, which will assist in recruiting students and connecting graduates with potential employers in need of computer programmers \u2013 filling a critical need among Saratoga County businesses while providing a pathway for students to pursue exciting career opportunities, officials said.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to partner with Albany Can Code to bring this unique and powerful education and training program to Saratoga County,\u201d said Marty Vanags, president of the Saratoga County Prosperity Partnership. \u201cAs one of the fastest-growing economies in New York, it is imperative that Saratoga County continues to build a skilled and savvy technology workforce. This program aligns perfectly with our long-term, sustainable approach to economic development that addresses current needs while planning for future growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the program marks the first time Albany Can Code, established two years ago, is recruiting students for three classes simultaneously: Front-End Web Development in Saratoga and Albany counties, and JavaScript Frameworks in Schenectady County. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>According to the Prosperity Partnership, it is also the first time the group is working with two community colleges simultaneously: SUNY Adirondack<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>and Schenectady County Community College.

We look forward to serving both students and businesses in Saratoga County in what is truly a win-win endeavor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Front-End Web Development course is particularly attractive to beginning programmers with aspirations to create mobile applications, as it establishes foundations in JavaScript that support eventual progression into Full-Stack Web Development, officials said.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>The course will be held on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 5:45 to 8:45 p.m. The cost of the 12-week program is $1,500, and students may qualify for funding assistance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEducational initiatives like this align perfectly with SUNY Adirondack\u2019s mission of offering innovative instruction, responding to community needs, and serving as a stimulus for economic development,\u201d said SUNY Adirondack President Kristine Duffy. \u201cAs northern Saratoga County\u2019s community college, we believe this is just the beginning of working with visionary partners like Saratoga County Prosperity Partnership and Albany Can Code to collectively improve our ability to meet the workforce needs of our region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additional information and registration are available online at albanycancode.org\/for-students\/courses\/front-end-web-development-course.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Saratoga County Prosperity Partnership announced a partnership to launch a computer programming education and training program in Saratoga County it is calling the first of its kind.
