In a world where data security, privacy, and information symmetry are becoming more critical every day, the evolution of Blockchain technology as a potential solution to these challenges has evinced great interest in the job market. Udacity, the Silicon Valley-based lifelong learning platform, is committed to connecting learning to jobs – and is now looking to connect interested candidates with the great new opportunities in the Blockchain development space. The Blockchain Developer Nanodegree Program’s curriculum was developed with exclusive insights from some of the leading experts in the Blockchain space, including Balaji Srinivasan (CTO, Coinbase), David Johnson (Board Chairman, Factom), Aaron Brown (VP – Engineering, Madnetworks), Elena Nadolinski (Co-creator, Ethmoji.io and Engineer, Solidity), and PK Rasam (Founder, LINCD).

Initially developed as the technological backbone of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin, Blockchain and its inherently secure and robust decentralized ledger are finding applications in facilitating digital payments, smart contracts, and for secure record-keeping. CNBC reports “Blockchain-related jobs are the second-fastest growing in today’s market and there are now 14 job openings for every Blockchain developer.” Blockchain technology experts already command the 4th highest annual remuneration in India, making it one of the most lucrative careers available to Indian professionals. Udacity has always been a frontrunner and leader in providing education in emerging technologies to prepare India for the jobs of tomorrow, and its latest Nanodegree is no exception. Udacity’s Blockchain Developer Nanodegree will focus on job readiness and the acquisition of in-demand Blockchain skills to help its graduates make the most of these openings.
