Our primary focus is students with a great attitude and an openness to learn new skills. We don’t require existing tech or mechanical skills. Targeted students range from recent high school graduates hoping to find a well-paying career without taking on student loan debt, Community College students looking to add to the skills they’ve learned and find a career that can grow with them, community members wanting to stay in on the Central and South Coasts, but needing a different career path to land a job here, to mom’s wanting to re-enter the workforce to veterans..
