LOOGOOTEE – Residents of Martin County looking to break into the technology sector now have a streamlined, cost-free path to do so. The Code/IT Academy has announced a new 10-week intensive program designed to equip locals with the technical skills necessary to compete in today’s digital economy.
The program, a collaborative effort involving The Mill and Ivy Tech Community College, aims to bridge the skills gap by offering professional-grade instruction at no cost to participants.
The academy is specifically structured for working adults and those balancing other commitments, featuring:
- Zero Cost: Full training is provided for free to accepted applicants.
- No Experience Needed: The curriculum is beginner-friendly, requiring no prior formal IT experience.
- Flexible Schedule: To accommodate professional schedules, classes are held in the evenings twice a week.
- Career Focused: The curriculum focuses on “in-demand skills” specifically identified by regional employers.
The upcoming session is scheduled to run from February 17 through April 23. Classes will meet every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30 p.m. to 7:00 p.m.
By condensing the curriculum into a fast-paced, 10-week format, the Code/IT Academy intends to move students from “curious” to “career-ready” in just under three months.
