Launch a Career in Tech
Skills for Hire Atlantic is a career-building program designed to upskill learners to become qualified and contribute to an innovative technology industry. We want to ensure that our participants develop valuable skills and gain a solid foundation that will lead to increased confidence and meaningful job opportunities. This program and its participants are contributing to a thriving ICT sector across the four Atlantic provinces.
Over the course of three years, Skills For Hire Atlantic will train 1,500 individuals on in-demand, entry-level positions to become active members of the Atlantic tech ecosystem, working to fill the existing gaps in local talent.
In 2022, Skills for Hire Atlantic will be offering training for two in-demand positions, Data Analytics and Web Development. This self-directed program will be offered over the course of 20 weeks, and our built in program support systems, industry connections, and industry partnerships, will help our students navigate pathways toward meaningful employment.
The program starts August 1st, 2022

“My experience with the Skills for Hire program and the team has been the best online education course experience I’ve had – and I’m constantly upgrading my skills. The support is second to none. The educational content is relevant and easy to access on and off-line. The added bonus of the Career Kickstarter program was very helpful in shaping my job search strategies.”
