What is NCLab?
We’re a team that is working to create a qualified workforce for Industry 4.0 and STEM careers. We develop interactive, self-paced and self-graded courses whose depth goes far beyond the standard video & quiz model offered by MOOCs and other big providers.
With NCLab, students master each concept and learn to apply concepts in a clear and measurable fashion before advancing to the next lesson. In this way, students learn deep, complex concepts on their own. We’ve spent several years making sure that students of all skill levels can progress and eventually secure long-term, fruitful careers.
Why does the world need NCLab?
Due to automation, 70M people in the U.S. and 1.5B in the world are at risk of losing their jobs within 10-20 years. We are now faced with the opportunity and challenge of training modern workers for modern careers. Programming and STEM jobs, the heart of automation and data exchange in current manufacturing technologies, are growing 50% faster than all other job segments. But due to a shortage of skilled teachers, the traditional STEM education system is lagging behind workforce demands.
What will I do at NCLab?
You will make a major, positive difference in people’s education—and help change STEM and Industry 4.0 education in the U.S. and across the world. You will focus on cloud-based, self-learning, self-graded courses that match or exceed education standards. You will be part of a team that develops some of the world’s most unique courses in Coding (Python), 3D Modeling & CAD, Machine Learning, Automation, Statistics, Optimization, Robotics, and more.
