Ignore all the one star reviews. This place changed my life for the better. Its not like any traditional school-- THE STAFF AND TEACHERS ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT YOU. Everyone knows everyone on a first name basis. They get you comfortable with a business/tech environment. You are in control of your future here-- High performance=Great internship. Yeah the pay during internship is nickels and dimes but after internship you have an opportunity to get hired on or find a job else where. But you also gotta realize they are giving you free education. I found a job on my own but they can help find you a job too. My first job was at Boeing and now I work for WSDOT. I went from minimum wage and confused about life to a high ranking/ high paying job. Im even in the process of buying a house now and I am only 21! If you have a go getter personality or want to better your life and you are interested in teach even with no background, take advantage of this program while it is still free!

They get $100 biweekly in the Learning Community and $400 biweekly at internship. For those one star reviews, when was the last time you were paid to school and typically an internship isnt always a paid opportunity as well. This is a moment to change your life as the real opportunity starts after your internship. So instead of being ungrateful that you dont get paid enough just acquire the knowledge for when you get the job.

This place will not find you a job after a paid internship. Its full of immature, self centered people ( staff ) that are just in it to move up the ranks to get paid more.If it sounds to good to be true, it probably is.Exactly the case with this program. Trust me, I DID it. If you are lucky and land a job, it will be as a secretary or help desk in a call center ( all entry level ). Nothing special. I put a lot into this program and got nothing out of it.Heres where they get you:They offer you 400$ bi-weekly a month. ( 800$ a month total )For 40 hours of work a week.. Thats right.Do the math, itsFOUR DOLLARS AN HOUR.4 ( dollars per hour ) x 5 ( days a week ) x 40 ( hours a week)= 800$

Markets and sells low-income students to corporate partners.Makes a killing (APROX. $30,000) from selling an internship seat.Then does not even have the decency to pay this low-income intern MINIMUM WAGE.When they recruit these opportunity youth they use a bait and switch tactic, pitching an internship at a top company while omitting the fact that they only pay the interns $200 DOLLARS A WEEK.
