ITWorks program recruiting youth for IT training program
The NPower Pennsylvania information technology workforce program, called ITWorks, is recruiting youth ages 18-24 for its new class, which begins in Philadelphia in August 2012.
ITWorks helps young people become job-ready for a technologically sophisticated workplace by teaching them PC configuration and networking skills, troubleshooting, customer service and communication skills, all while acquiring an understanding of a professional work environment.
Through 11 weeks of classroom study and hands-on workshops, participants will prepare for the industry-leading CompTIA A+ Certification. Five weeks of internships build resume and real world skills, providing students with an experience that will help improve their income potential for life and help them become self-sufficient.
