The virtual two-week program offers a sneak peek to New Horizons' 18-week technology Bootcamp, which includes topics like security, networking and Microsoft cloud computing. Graduates from the Bootcamp can earn widely respected certifications at the completion of the training, while gaining the skills needed to prepare for a career in IT.

As a result of the pandemic and an overwhelming demand for employees to work from home, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has named cybersecurity engineers, cybersecurity risk management and information technology staff as essential and in-demand employees.

"The demand for IT professionals is at an all-time high with most job functions becoming automated and remote, so we're pleased to partner with New Horizons on this scholarship opportunity for students," said Tina Brown, Chief Executive Officer, Overtown Youth Center.

Dr. James Stanger, Chief Technology Evangelist at CompTIA, said "The importance of providing these educational programs and exposing students to the industry early on is crucial to meeting the growing demand for IT professionals. The CompTIA A+ certification is the industry standard for establishing a career in IT."

The CompTIA A+ scholarship program offered through New Horizons South Florida and Overtown Youth Center begins on June 8 and runs Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. until June 18. At the completion of the program, each student will sit the CompTIA A+ certification exam, the industry standard for establishing a career in IT.

To qualify for selection, students must be high school juniors or seniors in Miami-Dade County. Exceptions are made for outstanding freshman and sophomores looking to get an earlier start.

Seats are limited. To apply, please visit https://www.nhflorida.com/promotions/miami-youth-comptia-a-scholarship-program.
