About this job

Are you ready to reach your full potential? With the skills and the opportunity to succeed, there's no limit to what you can do.

Year Up is an intensive, free, one-year program that combines hands-on skill development, college credits, and internships at some of America's top companies, preparing students for success in careers in IT or Customer Service. The program consists of 6 months of classes in technical and professional skills, followed by a 6 month internship. Students earn free college credits and an educational stipend of $600-$1000 per month.

Our alumni go places: 84% of our graduates are employed or attending college full-time within four months of graduation, and earn an average of $15 per hour, or $30,000 per year.

  • Available 5 days a week (Monday-Friday) for the full year of the program
  • Highly motivated to learn technical and professional skills
  • Of low to moderate income.


What Does It Cost?
Nothing. The only investment we require is your time and commitment to success. In fact, Year Up students receive a stipend throughout the life of the program. Because we believe that everyone has the potential to succeed, that's our investment in you.
