Interested in FREE training to become an IT Support Specialist? This
program offers free certification and a paid apprenticeship for graduates!
Those who successfully complete this free eight-week hands-on training
program in information technology (IT) may qualify for a six-month paid
apprenticeship up to $15 per hour with a local participating company, usually
in the role of help-desk support, technical support, or call center professional.
An apprenticeship is the kind of on-the-job experience that full-time
employers are looking for. Studies show that job applicants with relevant
work experience can have an advantage over those with degrees but no
such experience.
This is a nonprofit program. There is absolutely no cost involved and no prior
experience necessary!

Participants who complete training will be able to sit for the CompTIA A+
