WHY HIRE A YEAR UP APPRENTICE?
Year Up participants are pre-screened and pre-trained and are a great way to assess entry-level talent before hiring.

"Our Year Up hires are very polished and very eager to learn. They have a very positive attitude. (Year Up) takes ambitious inner city youths and shows them that through hard work and dedication, they can have a very bright and rewarding future in an industry (technology) that is in constant need of capable people. I love the concept and commend them for what they are doing. I have seen no flaws in their approach."
