What post-secondary education should look like in the 4th industrial revolution

About the Contributor:

Sylvain Kalache, Co-founder of Holberton School

I am currently working on Holberton School, an alternative to college training full stack software engineers. My work as a Software Engineer and my hobby as the co-founder of the largest community of French Tech engineers in the world led me to create Holberton School.

My experience as engineer help me to ensure that our students are learning the skills that the Tech industry needs. My experience as a community leader helps to build the community that will support and grow Holberton School.
