Vande Pol noted that EOU’s regional centers, hosted at community colleges throughout Oregon, also connect alumni with Revature’s training program.

“By attending EOU at our regional sites and online, students can complete their degrees and start building a career with Revature,” Vande Pol said. “I am looking forward to bringing this program to our locations around the state.”

The partnership considers K-12 students as well, encouraging the next generation of college graduates to become technology leaders.
