RootKit, a nonprofit organization based in the United States, has stepped up efforts to certify and educate the next generation of aspiring developers in the computer science realm via advanced courses and exams created by industry-standard experts.
“Every attempt at something is an opportunity to learn. The community that RootKit has built believes in supporting each individual in the pursuit of knowledge,” a representative said.
RootKit is a family-founded nonprofit run by dedicated Champions and has assembled a diverse variety of dedicated volunteers and subject matter experts to turn the dream into reality.
The certifications and courses produced by RootKit are created by industry-standard experts having acquired their proficiency through on-the-job experience with notable companies such as Boeing, the Department of Defense, Microsoft, and the National Security Agency.
RootKit offers a working list of programming certifications that are complete alternatives to college. Level 2 certifications, which are a total replacement for a bachelor’s degree, include Computer Science Certificate that serves as an alternative to receiving a Computer Science degree, and the Pro Computer Science Certificate, which is the next step for individuals looking to prove they have the skills employers want.
RootKit also leads the way in offering Level 1 Certifications, which prove individuals have expert knowledge in the base language. The organization currently offers a Python and Java Certificate, which gives enrollees confidence in their programming skills and helps them stand out in the job market.
Among the other upcoming courses set to be launched include the C and C++ Certificates. This is a perfect pick for individuals who want to prove they have a solid grasp on low-level programming skills and memory management. Additionally, a Golang Certificate will be added as it is an excellent choice for those with interest in a language that is growing in popularity and has the same low-level feel of C/C++, but has all the modern high-level features like memory safety and garbage collection that developers enjoy.
RootKit provides guides with everything a developer needs to know in order to obtain one of their many industry-standard certifications via their GitHub. They have open-sourced all their guides to make is easy for a developer to learn, grow, and become certified.
RootKit also offers an Apprenticeship program, where participants get a personalized champion who will sit down with them weekly and help guide them to achieve their goals.
In this program, a personal mentor will be assigned to each apprentice. Through weekly one-on-one hour-long sessions and 24/7 support, they will help educate and guide apprentices with career progression. Mentors will also create a personalized roadmap for them to achieve their education goals.
RootKit assures it is committed to creating equal opportunity for all individuals regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation. This commitment is shown through debt-free access to a computer science education as well as free certification exams.
“This is also shown through our values and belief that we can create a better world and organization when we embrace the full spectrum of humanity regardless of where we started, what we look like, etc.,” the representative adds.
