“[IT Bridge] is a great resource for those who are ready to prepare for a career, but don't have the necessary knowledge or requirements in order to get started… My career coach went above and beyond and even assisted me with obtaining vouchers in order to earn my GED after completing the ITCL courses. I went from being unable to get a job, to starting a career in a growing trade within the span of a year. I'm really thankful to National Able for all of their help.”
