Louisville, KY: The McConnell Technology & Training Center (MTTC) is sponsoring a free seminar to introduce people to information technology (IT) and computer technology careers. Accent Training is co-sponsoring the event.

“Starting IT” will identify potential IT careers, provide information about salaries and job possibilities, help participants identify their IT talents and interests by using self-assessment tests, and show them how they can begin a career in Information Technology.

Both local and national job availability and salary figures are described during the session.

The Starting IT seminar is free but session space is limited. Reservations must be made through MTTC. Please call or e-mail MTTC at (502) 367-2186, (888) 797-0931, or [email protected].
