New Web development program at WNC teaches students to build, sell websites
CARSON CITY — In partnership with IPA LLC, Western Nevada College’s Community Education department is offering a new intensive eight-week bootcamp designed to give students the combination of HTML knowledge and entrepreneurial skills to sell basic web pages to real businesses.
During the program, students will learn how to approach potential clients and build websites that work for these clients. They will demonstrate a completed website at the course’s conclusion. Students will each be assigned an expert business mentor and a cooperative internship partner from the local community, providing them with the support and real-life experience to be successful during and after the program.
Students will learn from an international team of developers and business mentors in a setting that combines classroom learning, 1-on-1 feedback and practical experience. In-person tutors will provide students with basic theoretical knowledge and skills, and supplemental lectures will include information about entrepreneurship.
Through project work, students will develop practical skills and learn by doing as they develop a website for their assigned internship partner. Throughout the course, students will also interact with an assigned business mentor and a team of web developers, in person and via an online chat platform.
Courses are scheduled on weekends to accommodate working adults and are open to anyone in the Northern Nevada community. An informational meeting is set for Monday, Dec. 10 at 11 a.m., which will cover what students can expect to learn, the time commitment and requirements for the course, and give students the opportunity to ask questions.
Any community member who is interested in the program is encouraged to attend the interest meeting, which will be held in Room 110 of the Reynolds Building on the WNC campus in Carson City.
Classes begin Jan. 26, 2019. Interested community members can visit www.wnc.edu/continuing-education/web-development-academy or call 775-445-4423 for more information or to register.
