Nuclio Digital School is one of the top three digital schools in Spain, with campuses in Barcelona and Madrid and presence in 70 countries. Founded in 2018 by Carlos Blanco and Jared Gi, its innovative master’s programs in bootcamp format prepare students in a practical way to enter the labor market in tech and digital areas that are highly in demand in the industry. In 2023, the school offers new facilities, training and tools to facilitate access to the digital revolution. A revolution that is being led by Jared Gil, CEO and co-founder of Nuclio Digital School. Gil considers that the change that is being experienced is the chronology of an announced revolution. In 2015, the University of Oxford estimated that 47% of US jobs were in danger due to computerization, and the Bank of England announced that automation would cause the loss of 15 million jobs in the United Kingdom. The year 2022 brought record numbers with The Great Resignation, the trend that predicted that one in five workers worldwide planned to resign.
How to act in this situation? Jared Gil says: “The generation of new professionals with technological skills is the crux of the matter. Currently, more than 50% of profiles with leadership positions in Spain perceive the shortage of personnel with ICT skills as a great threat to their businesses. Experts are needed to lead the digital revolution. And those talents must be accompanied.”
The Nuclio expert insists: “We no longer want to live to work, but neither do we want to work to live. “We want freedom and to feel fulfilled with what we do.” And a clear example of this is his career as an entrepreneur. In 2018, together with Carlos Blanco, co-founder of Encomenda VC and president of Nuclio, they detected the high demand for IT profiles that the industry already had. And they created Nuclio Digital School, a digital school with innovative training programs to nurture companies with high-performance technical profiles.
