The Individual Microcredential Assistance Program is a State of Ohio program that covers tuition and fees in full for Ohioans who are low income, partially unemployed, or unemployed. If you qualify, you pay nothing.
Three pathways
Every course sits on one of three routes. Take a single credential, or follow a pathway all the way through.
Data Science
Turn messy data into decisions. Start in Excel, add SQL and Power BI, and finish with a Microsoft certification.
Software Development
Learn to build. Programming fundamentals, then Python, then designing and shipping AI products, with an AWS certification at the end.
Information Security
Defend systems and the people using them. Network security, threat detection and response, compliance, and how AI is changing the work.
One pathway: Introduction to Programming
The Introduction to Programming Nanodegree is one of three pathways at We Can Code IT, and the one built for people starting from zero. You will learn programming fundamentals and computational thinking while working with HTML, CSS and JavaScript on hands-on projects, finishing with a technical resume and a clear view of where these skills can take you.
Prefer data or security? The other two pathways start with Data Analysis Fundamentals using Excel and Cybersecurity Foundations.
