Accudata Systems, Inc., Proudly Supports KIPP Houston Public Schools
HOUSTON, Nov. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Accudata Systems, Inc. announced a partnership with KIPP Houston Public Schools to support an initiative to ignite a passion for technology in high school students with a new course. In its pilot phase this year, the course allows students to receive a CompTIA certification, as well as college transcript credits, providing a jumpstart to those looking to pursue careers in technology.
Accudata, celebrating its 35(th) anniversary this year, has always made a point to support the local Houston community. The company is excited about this new opportunity to invest in the students' futures and propel STEM initiatives with KIPP by providing mentorships, internships, and future career opportunities for the young people taking part in the technology program.
"Our KIPPsters will benefit greatly from this meaningful partnership with Accudata. Exposing our students to information technology and engaging them in immersive learning experiences such as these creates a world of possibilities for their future," said Mike Feinberg, Co-Founder of KIPP.
"This partnership is perfect in so many ways and gives our team -- men and women who are incredibly passionate about technology -- a way to give back to our community's youth. Not only are we helping foster excitement in these young students and provide them with a path for the future, but we're also meeting the needs of a very real talent gap in our industry. It's a win-win all around," said Patrick Vardeman, CEO of Accudata Systems.
