CyberWyoming used their Apprenticeship Training Grant funds to support three IT programs and one business advisor occupation. The results speak for themselves:
- 80%+ Retention: Employers partnering with CyberWyoming love the results.
- Under 30: Technical professionals in the program are launching local careers.
- The Big Win: Wyoming WDTF grants are helping to retain a new generation in well-paying careers.
Here is what they have to say about the impact:
“One thing specifically that I found to be helpful during our course was learning about how to communicate with different generations. This has helped me as a tech to identify the audience I am working with and know how to communicate with them.”
— Austin Banks, Recent IT Specialist Registered Apprenticeship Graduate (Employed with PDS Manage)“The payoff from this program has been undeniable”
— Timothy Chenoweth, Owner of PDS Manage, a Grant Partnering Business“All of this was made possible because of DWS grant funding”
— Laura Baker, CyberWyoming Executive Director
CyberWyoming has recently been awarded an additional grant to expand its training offerings to include IT Network Architect, IT Manager, and IT Account Manager occupations.
