IT Jumpstart+ Program

The IT Jumpstart+ Program is an instructor-led program designed to prepare participants for new career opportunities in Information Technology. No prior IT experience is required! This 224-hour, 15-week program covers three areas: basic internet security, foundational IT concepts and terminology, and in-depth training in the skills necessary for a help desk or tech support position. Each of the three areas leads to internationally recognized IT industry certifications from CertNexus and CompTIA.

ÌÇÐĹÙÍø instructors provide coaching and guidance to prepare you for the certification exams with the goal of having you earn the CertNexus CyberSafe, CompTIA Tech+, and CompTIA A+ Core 1 and 2 certification exams. The A+ certification is the equivalent to 9-12 months of hands-on experience in a Help Desk, Service Technician, or other IT Support role. Students will also be provided with access to CompTIA’s many AI Essentials courses, which will allow them to learn how to utilize the tool in various job roles.

Students will also receive the Work-Readiness Skills training offered in partnership with 716 Ministries.

Students will receive as part of their program fees:

  • 224 hours of Instructor-Led Class
  • Eight (8) Sessions of Work Readiness
  • Career Coaching & Mentoring
  • Employer Networking
