Access Point
Access Point supports and trains high school students and recent high school graduates who are interested in technology (specifically coding) to enter into an IT career in the St. Louis area.
Students receive around 18-months of professional and technical training that leads to an entry-level coding job at a company in the St. Louis area. The youngest a student can begin training with Access Point is a senior in high school, which means we recruit during the junior year in high school. Those students would take Dual Enrollment courses through STLCC their senior year.
What Makes Access Point Different?
Access Point works hard to help students through the program and into a company. What makes Access Point unique is that we work with high school students, we have strong partnerships with large companies, our coursework is run through STLCC so students achieve college credit, and most importantly we have a unique part of our program called HayperCare. HyperCare works hard to help remove barriers that pop up for many young people. These can be academic barriers, financial, personal/social, college/career, technology, housing, transportation, etc. Each student has a case manager along with multiple other people supporting them through the program.
