MongoDB is expanding its education outreach through new partnerships with LinkedIn Learning and Coursera, making its content widely available to new learners. The company aims to bridge the software development skills gap by providing free certifications to developers through organizations such as Women Who Code and Lesbians Who Tech & Allies. MongoDB for Academia will give educators access to free MongoDB Atlas credits and certifications, while also offering a range of online learning courses to teach database administrators and SQL professionals about non-relational database technologies. The new initiatives are part of the company's mission to empower innovators to create, transform, and disrupt industries by unleashing the power of software and data.
