CAREER TECH
Taller aims to “bridge the digital divide” among Taller San Jose’s high-risk youth through computer technology and professional development training.  An Information Technology Academy, Career Tech validates students’ knowledge through globally-recognized certification in Microsoft Office and A+ Computer Repair. These programs provide students with a broad base of knowledge in both desktop skills and core hardware and operating system technologies.  Business skills classes are woven throughout the 16-22 week paid job training programs that simulate the workforce and demand on-time, drug-free behavior and match students to employment. Upon program graduation students are even matched to appropriate employment opportunities.  An Honorary Board of local businesses guides program development.
