HOUSTON – Harris County Commissioners have just passed the funding package to pay for a two-year program that will offer free IT/ Tech training to veterans and young adults ages 18 - 26 years old, hoping to greatly increase their income.
The program has already been offered in eight different cities across the U.S., including Detroit, St. Louis and New York. It is being offered by Npower, a nonprofit organization that has set out to help young adults in underserved communities attain jobs that they otherwise would not be qualified for.
To register for the program, which will begin on March 27 in Houston, you need to register at the website below and meet the following requirements:
- Have a high school graduate or G.E.D
- Be a veteran or between the ages of 18 and 26
- Be willing to work hard in the program, which runs for 16 weeks
