Oakland County Expands No-Cost IT Training for Adults Seeking Career Change

Oakland County officials announced an expansion of no-cost information technology training for adult learners pursuing career changes into help desk, cybersecurity, and data support roles. The initiative prioritizes short, stackable credentials and faster pathways to full-time employment.

Programs emphasize employer-aligned skills, including hands-on labs and interview preparation. Applicants will be evaluated on motivation and readiness rather than prior degrees.

Enrollment opens on a rolling basis this fall. Interested residents can monitor local provider pages and county announcements for application windows.
