LEWISTON — Five students celebrated the successful completion of Technical Support Professional training, a collaborative program brought together by the Maine Department of Labor/Bureau of Employment Services, Western Maine Community Action, Lewiston Adult Education, Workforce and Professional Development at Central Maine Community College and Carbonite.
Students completed the course include Craig Record, Evelyn Blake, Felicien Betu, Allen-Michael St. Claire and Michael Vigil.
The training included a 40-Hour IT Fundamentals Comp TIA certificate and 80-hour WorkReady with keyboarding certificate to help students prepare for career paths in IT technical support. Recognition for training success was held at B Street Community Center in Lewiston.
Three students plan to go on to Carbonite for additional training, funded through a WMCA/WIOA sponsored on-the-job training program.
