Year Up Puget Sound is searching for motivated young adults in the Puget Sound community who have an interest in career readiness and IT training to enroll in the fall.

Year Up is a one-year, intensive training program that provides urban young adults, ages 18-24, with a combination of hands-on skill development, college credits, and corporate internships.

The goal of the program is to provide every student who comes through our doors with the tools they need to create a successful career pathway for themselves.

In exchange for your commitment Year Up students receive a monthly stipend, 18 college credits, tailored support, and entry/connections to corporations. There are no tuition costs or fees to participate; however, students are required to show up every day on time and ready to learn!

• High school graduate or GED recipient
• Of low to moderate income
• Have the legal right to work in the U.S
