Our Story
Our web community, AskIT, is designed to connect Information Technology (IT) professionals with the right company for them. In bringing our mission to life, we've talked with recruiters, hiring managers, and professionals, all of whom seem to agree that IT services is growing. And the more technical the job position is, the more difficult it can be for the company. Our goal is to bridge this communication gap through constructive conversations in our online community!
Our Project
There is high demand for mid-level IT skills, and training and exams can be costly. For this reason, we want to help newly-discharged veterans obtain IT training and vouchers. Offsetting these costs can ease a veteran's transition back into civilian life, and we are excited to be in a position to help!
Why It Matters
There are companies who need tech talent to grow but cannot find the right candidate. Meanwhile, thousands of veterans who are looking for work have grown tired. It is abundantly clear that veteran training programs for IT could be a solution!
Why? We believe that Information Technology is particularly well-suited for veterans because they have had disciplinary training, are mission driven, and have had to adapt to changing situations. The problem is that costs can often be prohibitive. We want to reduce these barriers to entry by providing paid training and certification exams to veterans. After all, it's a small price to pay for the sacrifices they made!
