IT Community Support Project
Start your future career in Information Technology today!

The IT Community Support Project, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) is a collaboration between the University of Hartford the Hartford Public Schools, and Computers for Communities, Inc. The 3-year project will involve after-school hands-on technology training and summer internships for students in Hartford Public Schools, grades 7-12.

The program will start with basic IT training, and then advance to paid internships at local companies. In the final year of the program, students will create a local IT Resource Center, where they will refurbish computers and supply them to students' families and community members, and provide other IT services to the local Hartford community.
