They&#8217;re available online for free through IBM\u2019s platform, and official education partners also get access to workshops, project-based learning, hands-on support and career opportunities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the U.S., IBM SkillsBuild partners include the University of the Cumberlands, Vanderbilt University and the nonprofit Digital Promise, among others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expensive training<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">IBM and Morning Consult also published the results of a global study this week that found the major barriers to students pursuing tech training are a lack of awareness of available opportunities and concerns that courses will be too expensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">American survey respondents were found to have the greatest awareness of STEM jobs and training opportunities globally, the study found. Among respondents who classified themselves as students, job seekers or career changes, a majority said they didn&#8217;t feel qualified to work in a STEM job because they don&#8217;t have the right academic degree, or noted that there aren\u2019t many STEM job opportunities in their communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IBM said the expansion will enable more adult
