Digital Bridge Technology Academy

Digital_BridgeThe Digital Bridge Technology Academy at YouthSource provides young adults ages 16 to 21 who have dropped out of high school with the opportunity to complete their high school diploma or GED while gaining basic and advanced software and hardware training.

 

Services

The Digital Bridge team encourages youth to explore technology careers through participation in hands-on classes, workshops, guest speakers, job shadow opportunities, field trips, service learning, and internships.

In partnership with the YMCA and through a grant awarded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, the Digital Bridge Technology Academy is providing advanced technology skills training in both software (Digital Arts) and hardware (Cisco A+).

Advanced occupational skills trainings are four months in length, with an opportunity to participate in a three-month paid internship upon completion of the training. This training also translates into credits through Tech Prep at the following community and technical colleges:

  • Green River Community College
  • Highline Community College
  • Renton Technical College
  • Shoreline Community College

Eligibility

All King County young persons ages 16 to 21 who have dropped out of high school are eligible for the Digital Bridge Technology Academy.
