Code/IT Academy Opens Enrollment, CompTIA A+ Certification

Applications due September 23, 2024 for free training

Jasper—Ivy Tech/Jasper Dubois County Public Library announced that applications are open for Code/IT Academy, a 10-week upskilling program to help Hoosiers acquire in-demand tech skills and access higher-paying jobs.

The fall 2024 session prepares participants to pass the CompTIA A+ Certification Exam. Code/IT is a partnership between The Mill in Monroe County, Regional Opportunity Initiatives (ROI), and Ivy Tech Bloomington. 

“We’re really excited to offer this expanding program in Dubois County,” said Christine Golden, Jasper-Dubois County Public Library Director. “Classes are held at the Jasper Public Library, and the instruction is streamed live from Ivy Tech instructors in Bloomington. A staff member is there to facilitate the class as the participants go through the training together. There’s a great sense of camaraderie and excitement. The course is completely free, and Code/IT even covers the cost of the certification exam.” 

Code/IT’s ten weeks of free training prepares individuals for certifications and jobs in areas such as web development, IT administration, CompTIA Security+, and Amazon Web Services Cloud Practitioner. Ivy Tech instructors teach three sessions of Code/IT a year on a variety of in-demand topics.

This fall, the program is introducing a new pathways-based learning system, which offers a structured and flexible approach tailored to different skill levels and career goals. This system is designed to provide a more personalized and effective learning experience, ensuring participants can progress at their own pace while gaining the skills necessary for the tech industry. Registration for the session on CompTIA A+ is open now and closes September 23, 2024. 

Class starts October 10 and meets twice a week in the evenings. More details and the application form are available at https://codeitacademy.dimensionmill.org/fall-2024-registration
