A New LIFE Tech

By Joseph Ceasar | Executive Director

LIFE Tech Team

In most cases, employee turnover is detrimental to an organization. However, with our recent loss of our LIFE Tech Program Director, we filled the position with an outstanding gentleman who has transformed LIFE Tech into everything we imagined it to be. In addition to our previous services (hardware repair, IT Training, etc.), we now create websites, podcast, create professional videos, have drone footage, and so much more. We have engaged museums, nonprofit organizations, and for-profit organizations for content creation, SEO, etc. Our first apprentices have all completed at least three industry-recognized certifications and we have nearly eight more apprentices in the pipeline. 

For example, one of our clients (Kayla) had no money, no plan, and no hope. She became a financial opportunity center client and was diligent about following the advice of her financial coach. She enrolled in our IT Apprenticeship Program (LIFE Tech). Less than two months and three certifications later, she was recently offered a job paying $15.00 per hour. What a success!

LIFE Tech will never be the same and our community will benefit from that.
