We provide hands-on training in three phases: practical training, internship and career coaching and job placement.

Training: We implement a hands-on and hybrid in-person and online teaching model. Students learn in-person 2 days a week for 6 hours and then depending on the training program, they are directed to log into CompTIA Certmaster Learn, Microsoft Training, AWS Academy, Cisco Networking Academy or Splunk Education Learning Management System(LMS). The LMS is an eLearning system that has training videos, lesson notes, assessments, hands-on virtual labs and is to supplement the in-person class. Students will be instructed to complete reading, hands-on labs and watch training videos through the LMS. The training lasts between 12 to 24 weeks depending on the program.

Internship: We partner with local companies to give our students opportunity to work in IT. These companies have data technician, computer technician, IT help desk, AWS and cybersecurity analyst internship positions. While in the internship program, students will work with a career coach on building soft skills and interview preparation.

Job Placement: We have developed a three-step job search assistance program. The program consists of:

1. Resume help: A career coach will develop a resume that reflects the hands-on training student received and that will stand out to employers.​
2. Job Search: The career coach will find you suitable jobs, connect students with employers and facilitate job interviews with recruiters. We plan to send students 10 vetted IT jobs a week that matches the students resume. The career coach will also help with creating and updating student profile in LinkedIn, Indeed, Dice and other job boards and professional networking platforms.
3. Interview Preparation: Our IT instructors and mentors will provide mock interviews to prepare students for job opportunities.
