Motivated and disciplined


Here's how the service works
Young people are invited to a six-week orientation program where they meet in a drop with workforce outsource urcing services trainers once a week. From that group a most motivated and disciplined candidates are selected. They participate in, an intensive IT training program at a university and then begun working part time for corporations while they go to school part time and finish their under graduate degrees. "The goal is for people to graduate in six years with a degree, technology certification, no debt and a job," langer says.

Valeria Rodriguez, and 18-years-old from somerset, N.J. learned a about the program a years ago when she was in high school "it was too perfect," She says. She is now participating in a certification program at Rutgers University and working at galaxy systems, a provides of It consulting and other services in somerset.
participating companies make donations to help cover operating costs and tuition pay me nts, plus pay salaries to the student. They including Johnson and Johnson, Me deco Health solutions, and prudential Financial. Nonprofit organizations, such as new York's Museum of modern Art, are allowed to participate with out making donations. The program work will for employers, says Steve peltzman, MO MA'S chief information officer. He initially hired one of langer's student for the museum's teach help desk. that went so well that he now user other student to monitor the data canter which houses computing for the museum. one person with higher-level skills managed a software programming project. "You get all of the monetary benefits of off-shoring and none of the negatives," peltzman says. "and you're doing social good."
Langers program is still reactively small, but if it grows as rapidly as he hopes, grows it could Bergen to do hole lot of social good. He's working on that -right now negotiating with people at the university of Missouri in an effort to get the program going in st. Louis.
