AWS Educate

Vardhaman College of engineering is a member of Amazon educate. As cloud computing continues to grow in popularity, the need for employees with knowledge and skills in cloud computing has also grown. In response to this growing need, Amazon Web Services (AWS) started an initiative called AWS Educate to provide students and educators with the training and resources needed for cloud-related learning.

As a member of AWS Educate, the Vardhaman college of Engineering proudly provides its educators and students with twice as many AWS credits, demos, and special on-campus programs. Professors, teaching assistants, and educators receive access to AWS technology, open source content for their courses, training resources, and a large support community.
