Are you looking to start a new career in IT and work remotely?
In partnership with Per Scholas, A-B Tech is now offering free boot camp-style IT Support training, equipping individuals with the skills needed to secure remote, high-wage tech jobs.
The IT Support training is a 35-hour per week, 13-week online course valued at more than $10,000. The next session is set for June 9 to September 16, M–F, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Learn more and register at abtech.edu/IT-Support.
