The College of Southern Nevada hosted its second annual AWS Cloud Computing Bootcamp from June 24-28 at the North Las Vegas campus. The weeklong intensive training, led by CSN’s Computing and Information Technology faculty, attracted 23 students from diverse IT disciplines including computer science, network administration, cybersecurity, and cloud systems administration.

Aimed at enhancing student engagement with CSN programs, the bootcamp prepared students for the AWS Cloud Foundation certification, with vouchers and funding partly provided by a National Science Foundation grant. The program culminated with guest speakers from the industry offering insights, career guidance, and hands-on challenges in a competitive AWS-hosted JAM event, further enriching the participants’ learning experience and employability.
