‘Leading change’ in the rapidly evolving tech world is an achievement beyond measure. Our Student Developer Champions are set out to revolutionise the world with Automation. |
UiPath Student Developer Champions are self-motivated, enthusiastic, and multi-tasking student leaders who lead the UiPath Student Developer communities on their campus. Through this, they empower the fellow students with the skills and connections needed to become automation experts. UiPath Student Developer Champions are also the liaisons between UiPath and their institutions. We launched the program as a pilot in the APAC region in 2021; and we were delighted to see the response and acceptance of the program in the student community. Despite the pandemic our Student Developer Champions have reached out to 10,000+ students (as of April 2022) on their campuses by hosting events and hackathons (online and offline), creating video tutorials and by encouraging their fellow students to learn RPA by enrolling onto UiPath Academy and get certified. We are thrilled to take the UiPath Student Developers Program global this year! Come participate and enable your students join the global community! |

FAQsWhat is RPA?
Hundreds of millions of knowledge workers are employed across the world and in every industry. RPA enables us to remove routine, mundane, and repetitive tasks via software robots. By assigning such repetitive activities to software robots we now can focus on more creative and valued work, accelerating our careers, our companies, and ultimately, society. RPA is distinct from prior process automation technologies due to its flexible scope and ease of implementation – enabling enterprises to automate tasks and integrate systems which are otherwise too complex, too costly, or too time-consuming to address.
Why learn RPA?Despite a rocky 2020, the global Robotic Process Automation (RPA) market is still on track to see double-digit growth from 2020 to 2021—19.5%, to $1.89 billion—according to a recent Gartner press release. According to the World Economic Forum, more than 54% of the workforce will require reskilling in the next 5 years! “New technology adoption drives business growth, new job creation and augmentation of existing jobs, provided it can fully leverage the talents of a motivated and agile workforce who are equipped with futureproof skills to take advantage of new opportunities through continuous retraining and upskilling. Conversely, skills gaps—both among workers and among an organization’s senior leadership—may significantly hamper new technology adoption and therefore business growth.” Robotic Process Automation is one such technology that is dramatically redefining the future of work. Easy to deploy, non-intrusive, fast, and low-cost implementations have made RPA a priority across industries. Ninety percent of RPA developers say they expect the industry to expand over the next five years, echoing industry analyst sentiment and that demand for their skill sets will increase with it.
Who can be an RPA developer?While technical skills are a plus, anyone who has an interest and motivation to learn this new technology can become an RPA developer. Moreover, many of the certified RPA developers around the globe are undergrads. 90+% have college degrees, the majority of which are in technical fields. Still, one out of five followed a business-focused course of study, and more than one in ten had degrees in "other" areas, indicating there's room in the industry for a broad set of skills and knowledge. |
