The state is on the lookout for the next generation of IT workers. Governor JB Pritzker says the state is launching a tech training program that will bolster the tech workforce and pay the students for their time in the program.
After completion students will be offered a job with the State’s Department of Information and Technology.
The cohorts will be based out of the City College in Chicago and Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield and study high need areas; cybersecurity, networking, coding and database and end user infrastructure.
