At least 85% (26 of 30) of test-takers will pass, become certified to work within the I.T. Industry as a Computer Support Professional each 16 weeks session, we believe we can move at least 76 to 90 persons per year off the unemployment role and into full-time employment status either working for companies in the I.T. Industry or by starting their own businesses.
This we believe is an effective way to reduce crime levels within these communities, because the more residents qualified to find high paying technology based employment, the less desperate, unemployed, unskilled residents there will be in these communities who are likely to resort to crime in order to feed themselves and their families.
