Teaching tomorrow's engineers: How automation powers Holberton School's growth

Holberton School, an educational institution in France, has effectively integrated automation through the platform Zapier to manage its growing operational complexities, thereby enhancing its project-based learning model for software engineering. By automating tasks such as CRM management, student administration, and billing processes, the school has streamlined operations, reduced manual workloads, and improved efficiency across departments. This has allowed Holberton to focus more on providing quality education without expanding its administrative staff, even as it opens new campuses. CEO Julien Cyr highlights how Zapier's automation capabilities have not only optimized workflows but also transformed the work culture, enabling the team to concentrate on innovative tasks and improve student support. This strategic use of automation tools positions Holberton to continue scaling its educational offerings while maintaining operational efficiency and morale.
