A Word From Our Apprentice

In partnership with the School District of Philadelphia, we offer the Computer Support Specialist Apprenticeship Program—part of our commitment to Philadelphia workforce and youth development. This program provides tech support to 62 schools and 4 central offices across the district while helping participants earn industry-recognized certifications.

“I came from production so I really didn’t know too much about it, but I learned a lot throughout all the classes and certifications and having a lot of support through the programs.” – Theresa
