BUFFALO, NEW YORK \u2013 June 29, 2020 \u2013 To help displaced workers transition to new careers in information technology, Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ announced the launch of a ten-week IT support course in partnership with the United Way of Buffalo & Erie County, Tech Buffalo, and Workforce Development Consortium.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe IT sector has been resilient given the current economic climate and many within our local business community are now hiring qualified candidates,\u201d said Dan Neville, director of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Technology Institute. \u201cOur coursework is designed to provide our students with the basic entry level IT skills needed, regardless of if they have a math or technology background.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The instructor-led, online course starts July 20 and runs Mondays through Fridays for four hours each day for ten weeks. The 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. This course also uses CompTIA\u2019s IT Fundamentals curriculum, CompTia\u2019s A+ curriculum and includes an opportunity to earn two industry-recognized certifications upon completion.<\/p>\n
In addition, enrolled students will receive the work-readiness skills training conducted by 716 Ministries. All course materials and certification fees are included.<\/p>\n
Class size is limited, and qualified applicants may receive funding to cover the cost of the program. For more information on program requirements and to enroll, visit staging.trocaire.edu\/it-courses-at-trocaire-college\/<\/a><\/p>\n
