CAREER PROGRAMS

I.T. Career Start Program

The Information Technology Career Start Program is designed to provide you with the skills and certification training necessary to jump start your career in Information Technology (I.T.). The IT industry is a certification driven, skills-based trade. Credentials acknowledging the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA) officially authorized training and certificates will provide great evidence to employers of your training and skillsets.

This will set you apart and help generate employment in a field that does not require a college degree. CompTIA is the industry standard for establishing a career in IT and the preferred qualifying credentials for technical support and IT operational roles. Candidates are better prepared to problem solve, and troubleshoot, to better understand a wide variety of issues ranging from networking and operating systems to mobile devices and IT security.
