OVERVIEW

Tech Jobs Academy is an innovative approach to a hard problem: the skills gap. The program is a framework through which talented people acquire in-demand IT skills, enabling them to gain employment with local businesses – including the hundreds of thousands of Microsoft partner companies worldwide – in need of precisely these 21st century skills.

Tech Jobs Academy was created for those who have everything but opportunity. The program aims to expand access to in-demand technical training to unemployed or underemployed adults who are passionate about launching careers in technology. Tech Jobs Academy employs a hybrid learning model that blends hard skills and soft skills, pairing a focus on real-world projects with labs, lecture, and certification exams. Throughout the program, each participant completes roughly 1,000 hours of high-quality skills development.
