A new program is available to help you prepare for your next step, offering coaching, certifications and connections with local employers. And as an added bonus, you could be eligible for a cash bonus if you complete the program.

We are looking to connect students with employment opportunities. There are a lot of great reasons to stay in the area and start building a career.”
