Othello Street Signs_1

We’re pleased to help spread the word about a new 10-week tech course starting on April 11 at the Othello-UW Commons. In this introductory Foundations of Databases course, you’ll learn fundamental database and SQL skills. The course is approved by UW’s Department of Computer Science and provides a valuable first step into a career in tech or data. These skills are also widely applicable across many roles, in both large corporations and small nonprofits, that handle data. 

Scholarships are available for up to 15 students! The Southeast Seattle Career Scholarship is need-based and covers 80% of course costs. The scholarship application deadline is March 1.
