What is WP Campus Connect?

WP Campus Connect is a month-long initiative designed to bring the power of WordPress to college students across multiple campuses. By partnering with four different colleges, we aim to introduce students to WordPress through engaging and hands-on workshops. This event is part of a broader effort to cultivate the next generation of WordPress users and developers, helping them build valuable skills and explore potential career paths within the WordPress ecosystem.

Our Goal

The primary goal of WP Campus Connect is to empower students with practical WordPress knowledge and skills. We strive to create an engaging learning environment where students can not only learn how to build websites using WordPress but also discover the numerous career opportunities available within the WordPress community. By fostering a connection between educational institutions and the WordPress ecosystem, we aim to inspire and support the next generation of WordPress innovators.

Event Format

WP Campus Connect is structured as a series of workshops held over four weekends, with each workshop taking place at a different college campus. During these workshops, students will receive hands-on training in using WordPress to build websites, guided by experienced WordPress professionals. In addition to technical skills, students will gain insights into various career paths within the WordPress community, helping them to see the broader opportunities that WordPress offers.

This event is not just about learning technical skills; it’s about opening doors to future career opportunities, networking with professionals, and becoming part of a vibrant, global community. For colleges, this is an excellent way to provide students with valuable, industry-relevant skills and to strengthen their ties with the technology sector.
