Disabled Teens Get Grant For Online IT Training

The CompTIA Educational Foundation initiative provides career development opportunities for people who have been underrepresented in IT fields.

Young people with disabilities are expected to get a helping hand with new online IT services thanks to national grant monies garnered by the Computing Technology Industry Association Educational Foundation.

CompTIA announced this week that a $25,000 grant from the NEC Foundation of America would pay for the first phase of the program, which will provide training, mentoring, certification, and job placement assistance. It aims to create employment opportunities so students with disabilities can enter the nation’s high-tech workforce.
