Brooksource, a leading technology services and training partner, has committed to creating net-new tech talent across Wisconsin over the next three years. In collaboration with the Milwaukee Tech Hub Coalition, a non-profit organization working inclusively to grow technology talent in the region, and AWS re/Start, a cohort-based workforce development training program, Brooksource will train individuals with the skills needed for careers in cloud computing. This technical training will come at no cost to the learners and help meet the growing demand for IT positions with Fortune 500 organizations in the region, including American Family Insurance.
Brooksource will assist in accomplishing this endeavor by leveraging its workforce transformation program, Elevate, which has engaged an average of 1,200+ consultants nationally, for each of the last 20 years. In addition to accessing the core technical training and professional development curriculum typically provided through Elevate, Brooksource’s Elevate Consultants will also be enrolled in the AWS re/Start program.
AWS re/Start is a 12-week cohort-style technical bootcamp designed to teach participants cloud computing skills. Through real-world-scenario-based exercises, labs, and coursework, students build Linux, Python, networking, security, and relational database skills. The program also prepares and covers the cost for participants to take the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner Certification exam, validating their cloud skills with an industry-recognized credential. At the close of the program, Brooksource will work with American Family Insurance, and their Fortune 500 partners at-large, to help Elevate Consultants secure IT roles with companies in the region.
