During the summer,
additional training is
held in business skills,
career planning and job
keeping skills. Students
who successfully
complete their
after-school and summer
training modules may be
eligible for internships
at local organizations
and corporations in the
IT field.
By the third year of the
program, students will
have established a
computer support center,
Our IT,
where they will have
real-world practice in
providing technology
support to local small
businesses. Students
will also refurbish
donated computers for
distribution to the
community and provide
basic computer training
to community members,
families of participants
and other youth. The
center will contribute
to overall
sustainability of the IT
Community Support
Project.
