Candidates complete a series of in-depth interviews to determine their goals. NTC offers an IT infrastructure management program in partnership with Nashville Software School and Volunteer State Community College that is supported by a GIVE grant from the state. Candidates selected for the GO Tech program can gain the skills and industry certification needed for an entry-level IT job free of cost.
Individuals with different goals are referred to other local organizations, such as Nashville Software School, NTC Chief of Staff Sandi Hoff said. Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds, Hoff said. We have really focused on trying to work with partners who can help identify people of color, women and veterans . because those are three groups that are currently underrepresented in technology professions.
