Oracle’s Workforce Development Program Gives Back to Veterans

Guest Author

The Oracle Workforce Development Program is a worldwide program offered by Oracle University. It gives individuals in the community more options to develop the knowledge and experience with Oracle technologies that will position them for success in their careers.
Oracle’s Workforce Development program enables educational institutions and training partners to offer authorized Oracle training content as a part of existing certificate, diploma and degree programs. This makes it easier for more people to develop Oracle skills and earn credentials that will lead to career advancement.

Oracle University Provides Benefits for Military Veterans

On April 30, a new public-private partnership was announced by First Lady Michelle Obama that will enable thousands of service members to earn industry-recognized IT certifications before they transition from military service. Oracle was on site for this announcement at the White House - including Oracle University’s own Michelle Cross, who manages the Workforce Development Program for North America.

    It appears this program never materialized? I cannot find any partners near me. Not even for online courses. I even checked my home state of record and my wife's, nothing available.

    I am sorry to hear that you have not been able to find a partner near you. This program is active, but I think there may be an issue with the website look - up tool. I will raise this issue to the appropriate team so we can address. In the meantime, you can send an email to: workdev_us@oracle.com to get help finding a partner. If you run into issues, please contact our customer service team at 1.800.529.0165.

    Thank you,

    Kate

    Hi,

    I'm planning to start software training business in partnership with Oracle University. Can you please answer below questions:

    1) I'm an experienced developer and planning to setup a company. I'm I eligible to join with Oracle University as a partner?

    2) What is the least amount to be paid to become Oracle University partner?

    3) How much money can I earn (monthly or yearly), after becoming an Oracle University Partner?

    4) Can Oracle University gives me an opportunity to provide trainings to outsiders on behalf of Oracle University? Or should I do the marketing by myself?

    5) After becoming an Oracle University partner, can I provide the trainings world-wide?

    Please confirm. awaiting for your response.

    Thank you,

    Rohan.

    @ Vishal,

    Oracle Database 10g exams and certification paths retired on March 1, 2015.

    However, regular training is available for this version of the product and you will receive a certificate of attendance.
