Certification Recommendation

    Hello Community,


    I’m looking for substantial certifications that high school students can realistically earn in 6 weeks (about 8 hours of in-class training per week).


    Due to funding, my paid apprenticeship program has been shortened from two years to six weeks. During this time, students will also complete a 40-hour work week in IT departments or community volunteer roles.


    I want participants to leave with meaningful credentials, not just filler certificates. I’m currently considering Tech+, since many students already have some IT background, but I’d love to hear suggestions for other short-term, impactful certifications.


    Thank you for any recommendations!
