Case Study: Latin American Youth Center empowers students and builds IT careers with CompTIA certifications

Latin American Youth Center staffs IT department entirely with former students using CompTIA

The Latin American Youth Center (LAYC) faced the challenge of providing affordable, industry-recognized IT certifications to low-income students in Washington, DC, to help them overcome economic barriers and become competitive in the job market. Partnering with CompTIA, LAYC utilized certifications like Tech+ and A+ to offer high-quality training despite their funding limitations.

Through CompTIA's affordable resources and certification pathways, LAYC empowered its students to secure meaningful employment. The solution had a transformative impact, resulting in the organization's IT department being entirely staffed by former students, creating a sustainable cycle of success and generational change within the community.
