Capital Region Area Information Technology Apprenticeship

该项目是一个成功的IT学徒计划的延续，该计划为学生提供了在获得副学士学位的同时获得行业技术经验的机会。这项活动有助于满足当地雇主对新兴数字经济的迫切需求。该项目包括一门关于就业准备、沟通技巧和求职技巧的在线课程。该计划的一个关键组成部分是一名全职学徒教练，其职责是帮助学生为工作做好准备，监督学生的进步，并鼓励当地雇主雇用失业工人。该项目的目标包括与当地工业合作，增加可用职位的数量，并为越来越多的学生提供服务，特别强调妇女、少数民族和流离失所的工人。正在评估指导和营销策略，结果将被传播，以便其他组织实施类似的计划。

This project is continuing a successful IT apprenticeship program that provides students the opportunity to receive industry-based technical experiences while earning an associate's degree. This activity helps meet the urgent need of local employers for the emerging digital economy. The program includes an online course for employment readiness, communication skills and job search skills. A key component of the program is a full-time apprenticeship coach whose responsibility is to prepare students for work, monitor student progress and to encourage local employers to hire displaced workers. Goals of the project include partnering with local industry to increase the number of available positions and to place an increasing number of students with a particular emphasis on women, minorities and displaced workers. Mentoring and marketing strategies are being assessed and results will be disseminated to allow other organizations to implement a similar program.
