RFID Education Launched at DeVry in Partnership With the RFID Technical...

June 24, 2005 -- DeVry University's Center for Corporate Education and the RFID Technical Institute Inc. (RTI), a global education services company based in Cambridge, Mass., are now offering corporate education and training for professionals interested in radio frequency identification (RFID) technology.



DeVry's Center for Corporate Education will offer both day and evening courses at its Arlington, Va., and North Brunswick, N.J., campuses in July, state approval pending. The first to be offered is a 30-hour foundation course that focuses on providing business and technology professionals with a basic understanding of RFID. The courses are being developed in cooperation with the RFID Technical Institute, and a series of advanced and vertically specialized RFID courses are planned.



"Our collaboration with RTI, one of the leaders in the field of RFID education, to provide education in this field is in response to the increasing adoption of RFID in almost every business sector," said John Skubiak, president of DeVry University. "Along with providing valuable continuing education opportunities to industry and the government, we are also giving students the opportunity to lead the way in implementing and managing this emerging and promising technology."



"Our comprehensive approach to RFID education and training is a wonderful match with DeVry's commitment to offering high quality courses with workplace relevance to both the private and government sectors," said Ann Grackin, RTI President. "Together with DeVry we can now offer, on a national scale, a learning program which truly prepares organizations with the knowledge and skills required to be successful with RFID."



As part of its agreement with DeVry, RTI will also establish RFID Centers of Excellence at selected DeVry campuses. These hands-on learning labs will provide students with a close-up, vendor-neutral perspective and a unique opportunity to see how RFID hardware and software systems operate to solve business problems.



"This alliance between RTI and DeVry is a big step forward in the RFID education marketplace," said Nicholas Tsougas, Principal at SRA International and consultant for the Department of Defense on RFID and other automatic identification projects. "With DeVry's classroom, laboratory and library facilities, students will have an unparalleled means to learn RFID in a hands-on setting, working with instructors that have a wealth of RFID experience and insight."
