Started in 2018, the Amped Technology Workforce Development program provides advanced technology training and employment opportunities with Louisville-based companies that were previously unavailable to those without a college education.The program also offers mentorship while the students are going through the cohort to ensure students successfully complete the program while learning Tableau, Power BI and other platforms as well as completing a Capstone presentation to demonstrate the knowledge gained during the data analytics course. The participants are paid during the 12-week immersive training as the commitment is equivalent to a full-time job and this income allows each participant to focus on their growth during their time in the program. Through this programming, Amped is removing disparities in the fields of data analytics and data science. Graduates have the opportunity to receive a living wage job that starts at $55,000 to $65,000 annually plus benefits.
