Youth Programs

Computer Repair

The Computer Repair & Refurbishment Certificate Program is a hands-on training program for youth ages 16–29 interested in building practical, job-ready technology skills.

Join the 10 Week Program

Over 10 weeks, participants learn how to fix and refurbish laptops and desktop computers, turning used devices into fully working systems. The program focuses on real-world, hands-on skills that build confidence, while showing how reusing computers helps reduce waste and protect the environment. Youth also get introduced to small business and entrepreneurship opportunities in the tech field.

No prior experience is required.
