AWS re/Start Program

Launch a Career with AWS Cloud and IT Fundamentals Training

Tuition-free training for a recognized credential. A 14-week program offered virtually, with live instruction Monday-Friday, 9am-3pm. Sessions in the late fall, late winter and spring.

Britepaths is working with AWS in Fairfax, VA USA to offer the AWS re/Start program virtually.

A free, full-time, skills development program to help unemployed and underemployed individuals who might not otherwise have access to technical education develop the skills they need to pursue entry-level cloud roles. Britepaths helps learners gain job-specific skills, connect with employers, and embark on their cloud careers.

Through scenario-based learning, hands-on labs, and coursework, learners gain the skills they need for an entry-level cloud role. In the program, you’ll also focus on professional skills such as adaptive communication, time management, resume building, and interviewing to prepare for employer meetings and interviews.

You will learn cloud computing skills and prepare for AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification with free access to practice and full exams.

After you graduate, Britepaths will make every effort to connect you with employers and help you move into your new career, but no guarantees.
