You can earn an IT certificate at no cost to you. Most IT Workforce Accelerator programs range from two days to twelve months, with many programs offered bootcamp-style. Tuition and books are paid by a grant from the U.S. Economic Development Administration. Among the eligibility requirements, you must live in Central Illinois or work for a Central Illinois company. In addition to tuition and books, you may also qualify for additional support services.

Do you also need help preparing for your new career or finding the opportunity to break into IT?
