We Are: At Udacity (a part of Accenture), we aim to bring accessible, engaging, and highly relevant education to the world. We believe that education is not limited to four years or four walls, it’s a lifelong pursuit. Technology is advancing rapidly; there is a growing skills gap between jobseekers and career opportunities, and between an enterprise’s strategies and employee’s skill to execute. Udacity is dedicated to closing these gaps. To do this, we’re rethinking how education is made and delivered by empowering our students to advance themselves personally and professionally.
