Mission
Our region faces a stark reality where many high school graduates are at risk of entering the poverty index due to limited educational and career prospects. The IT industry's rapid growth, with a projected 11% increase in jobs from 2019 to 2029, as per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, presents a unique opportunity to transform the lives of these young individuals. Sadly, many students often lack access to the resources, support, and mentorship needed to break free from the cycle of poverty. The MG-TEC IT Academy was created to offer a learning experience that equips students with the necessary skills to enter into technology careers or continue their education upon graduation.
