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 cohorts to ensure students successfully complete the program while learning various technical skills. Skills learned in our program include but not limited to IT Support, software management, hardware repair, SQL, Python, and Power BI. We have various course formats including immersive hands-on training, instructor led courses, and self-pace courses. Through this programming, Amped is removing disparities in Information Technology including in the fields of data analytics, cybersecurity, and data science. Graduates have the opportunity to receive a living wage job that starts at $40,000 to $65,000 annually plus benefits.
