The training, which will be available from June 5 through November 20, will consist of two main phases:
- Live session: “Simplifying Generative Artificial Intelligence with AWS” (Simplificando la Inteligencia Artificial Generativa con AWS) to be held on June 5, during which 15 vouchers for AWS Cloud Practitioner certification will be raffled.
- Bootcamp on AWS Generative AI with 10 hours of duration and certificate of completion.
“AWS provides industry-leading cloud computing services that enable enterprises to experience and deploy the latest innovations in AI,” says Carolina Pina, Massive Training Lead for Latin America. “As generative AI continues to advance rapidly, developing the skills the technology market needs is critical. However, this training represents a unique opportunity to get into the world of emerging and most innovative technologies to achieve a better professional development in the digital era,” she concludes.
During the trainings, we will explore fundamental aspects from what is generative AI, how AWS applies it and we will delve into some of the available tools such as Amazon Bedrock, Amazon CodeWhisperer, Amazon Inferentia, AWS Trainium and Amazon Sagemaker Jumpstart, showing their functionalities and applications for day-to-day use.
For AWS, regular training and knowledge in technologies such as artificial intelligence and cloud skills is fundamentally important as it is helping to transform businesses. To help close the gap in skilled talent, estimated by consulting firm IDC at 2.5 million people by 2026, AWS developed the AI Ready program to train 2 million people globally on AI skills for free through 2025.
Since 2017, AWS has trained more than 2 million people in Latin America through its training and certification programs.
