Supporting Students During Uncertain Times

Career Year Academy is a skills-based education provider serving the Canadian and French markets. They aim to bridge the gap between high school, university, and the workplace. Launched in 2018, CYA has been hosting with amazee.io from the beginning. The choice to work with amazee.io was an easy one for their technical leadership, who had had prior experience with us back when we were just getting started. CYA had evaluated other hosting providers but ultimately chose amazee.io for our ability to handle their DevOps needs, which allowed them to focus on building and maintaining their product.

When COVID-19 disrupted and shut down most in-person scholastic activities worldwide, CYA wanted to double down on its commitment to helping students. With the cancellation of in-person university expos, CYA recognized a new unmet need: connecting high school students with higher education institutions. Thus, CYA decided to expand its offerings by building a pro-bono digital platform that would bring the college expo experience online. 

To do our part, amazee.io also offered free web hosting to organizations pursuing initiatives to help with COVID-19 relief efforts. When CYA reached out to see if we would support them with free hosting of the project, we immediately agreed.
