Free IT Job Training for Unemployed

Academy helps train underserved city residents with software development skills and helps them to find jobs. Our technology training program uses a rapid training model to provide students with the skills needed to gain employment in today’s evolving IT industry. In addition to technical training, soft skill and life skill curriculum is taught to help individuals ascend to new levels of success in the workplace and in their personal lives. Make sure to watch our video above to learn all about our program, as well as our goals for this campaign.


We are launching Ascender Academy this fall, with our first training class. The funds we raise from this campaign will help fund that launch, including tuition for our first class of students, computers for them to use, and other supplies and expenses. Our goal is to raise $50,000 for this purpose.

Of course, we are pursuing other methods of funding as well, as a nonprofit, because we will need more to fund our program.

However, your support in contributing to this campaign will make an enormous difference in helping us get our program off the ground, and will contribute greatly to the lives of those involved in the program. 


We have developed a sponsorship program for corporate and individual sponsors—please see those sponsorship benefits under "Reward Levels." Make sure to include your personal information when donating to receive your benefits, if applicable.
