Spring Into an IT Career

Job-seeking seniors, have you heard about Grinnell College’s new Springboard Program? This opportunity is designed for recent graduates and will help you get started on your career in information technology services.

More from ITS:

A competitive program, it provides up to three years employment in a cohort-based environment; up to four positions are available most years. In addition to a competitive salary that may increase up to 20% annually, Springboard Program employees will gain professional experience in three different technology fields as well as have the opportunity to attain professional certifications related to each. Employees who progress satisfactorily through three full years will also gain the Grinnell College IT Springboard Certificate.

While the program is open to eligible graduates in any discipline and no prior technology experience is required for those with bachelor’s (or higher) degrees, a demonstrated interest in information technology and professional development is embraced. This program provides a fantastic way to gain practical technology experience, professional certification, and experience different professional information technology career paths.

At the end of your time as a Springboard fellow, you’ll be ready to take on exciting and competitive roles across the IT industry. You don’t even need to be a computer science major or have experience in tech to apply.
