CompTIA, a leading voice and advocate for the $5 trillion global information technology ecosystem, and ConnectWise, the world's leading software company dedicated to the success of IT solution providers, are partnering to present you with a unique opportunity. We are training tech job-seekers in the technical skills and durable skills needed for success in entry-level IT jobs.

Throughout the program students receive support and additional resources as needed.
