Year Up is a national, non-profit organization seeking 18-24 year-old students with a high school diploma or GED for a paid, year-long training and internship program on information technology and business. The next cohort starts in March 2013. Students are trained in computer hardware and software, communications, professional development and life skills for 5 months, and are placed at a Fortune 500 Company or major organization for a six-month internship. Students earn a bi-weekly stipend, up to 18 college credits and can complete CISCO certifications through the program as well. Within 4 months of completing the program, 85% of Year Up graduates are employed full time or enrolled in college full-time.
