With this investment, the company has set a target to train thousands of professionals in London in the coming years, preparing them for some of the fastest-growing jobs in Product Management, Product Design, Digital Marketing, and Data Analyics.

We’re excited to expand our presence in Shoreditch and to provide more career-building opportunities for professionals in the UK and across Europe,” he said.
Historically a cultural hub in London, Shoreditch has transformed over recent years into a fast-growing centre of innovation, with Cisco, Amazon, Facebook, Google, Intel, and BT Sport, among others, opening offices in the area.
