Through the end of June, the state is offering free online IT courses to Missourians laid off or furloughed because of COVID-19. Missouri has extended its partnership with CompTIA (tee-a), a nonprofit trade association, to provide the on-demand schooling that can be completed at each student’s own pace.
Dr. Mardy Leathers, director of the Office of Workforce Development, says those who finish the 8 or 12-week training will be certified in information technology, cybersecurity, or project management.
Missouri is using federal coronavirus aid to cover the cost of the training. Dr. Mardy Leathers says on-demand schooling can be completed at each student’s own pace. Those who wrap up the 8 or 12-week training will be certified in information technology, cybersecurity, or project management.
