The Open Compute Project Foundation (OCP), a global collaborative community of hyperscale data center operators, telecom, colocation providers and enterprise IT users, working with the product and solution vendor ecosystem to develop open innovations deployable from the cloud to the edge announces an alliance with Nomad Futurist Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a mission to inspire and cultivate future industry leaders of the digital infrastructure space.
This relationship will address the human capital deficit the Digital Infrastructure industry faces and the lack of educational platforms available. It will empower and inspire the younger generation through exposure to the underlying technologies that power their digital world. Both the Nomad Futurist foundation and Open Compute Project Foundation share the same vision: to ensure the talent gap in the Digital Infrastructure industry is bridged before it is too late.
“The OCP Foundation believes that the future talent needs of our Community are critical to their success, which is why we are pleased to work with the Nomad Futurist Foundation to help bridge the gap of future talent for the next generation to come into the industry”, comments Dirk Van Slyke, VP, Chief Marketing Officer of OCP.
Both organizations are committed to the community and dedicated to giving back and creating pathways that will nurture the industry’s next generation of leaders.
“At Nomad Futurist we are thrilled to partner with OCP. Together, we embark on the mission to make education on our industry accessible and readily available for all that are interested in learning”, adds Nabeel Mahmood, co-founder of the Nomad Futurist Foundation. “Through innovation and collaboration, we will create a brighter future, where education knows no boundaries and becomes a reality for all.”
Nomad Futurist Foundation and Open Compute Project Foundation provide leverage to each other as they encourage and provide the necessary educational tools for the younger generation to thrive.
