While Umbraco is widely adopted in Europe and other mature markets, awareness and structured education in emerging regions has been limited. This session tells the story of launching India’s first structured Umbraco Education Program, aimed at students, junior developers, and working professionals.

The talk explores how structured workshops, hands-on labs, and real project exposure helped create new Umbraco developers in a market traditionally dominated by other CMS platforms. More importantly, it shows how education can become a long-term growth engine for the Umbraco ecosystem, not just a one-time training initiative.

I will share insights into curriculum design, impact on learning, and how community-led education can bridge the global Umbraco talent gap.

This is not just a success story—it’s a repeatable model that can be adapted for other countries and communities.

Key Takeaways:
1. How structured education accelerates Umbraco adoption in new regions
2. Designing an Umbraco curriculum for beginners and professionals
3. Measurable impact on careers, community growth, and agency adoption
4. How the global Umbraco community can replicate this model

As an Umbraco MVP and active community contributor from India, I have worked closely with real organizations, students, and developers to expand Umbraco’s reach. These sessions are based on real implementations, not theory, and align strongly with Codegarden’s values of openness, learning, and community.
