As we kick off 2025, our program is growing stronger than ever! We're welcoming a new group of over 10 students into our IT & Marketing training programs—each one eager to gain skills, grow professionally, and give back to their community.
We’re excited to introduce Evelyn Garcia, our newest Marketing Intern, who is already helping promote our programs and share our mission with a wider audience. Also pictured is Nisha Murphy, one of our dedicated IT Apprentices, gaining real-world experience through hands-on projects and local tech support.
We’re proud to share that our students have earned over 15 Northstar Digital Literacy Certifications, 5 ITF+ certifications, and one recent Network+ certification—a major milestone that reflects the hard work and dedication of our learners.
Beyond certifications, our students are making a tangible impact:
Marketing students are helping revamp our own website and marketing materials, ensuring our programs shine online.
IT students continue to provide local tech repair and support, serving as a trusted resource for our rural community.
With your continued support, we are not just teaching skills—we’re building confidence, careers, and a stronger digital future for rural households. Thank you for being part of this journey.
With gratitude,
Michael Martinez
