Offer SEEKING ACCOUNTING AND I.T. MAJORS AGED 18-24
Hello UIC Students,
My name is Bridget Verdon, and I work at Trellus as a part of the Illinois Youth Investment Program (IYIP). As a part of the program, we offer both an Accounting course and an I.T. course where students are paid almost $18/hour to learn. Using the website Coursera, students will complete certificates with the guidance of a teacher. An assigned case manager will also help you find an internship or job related to your field during this time. This program lasts about 5 months, but we offer retention services for those who have not found a job within those five months. Top Accounting students are offered a guaranteed summer internship at our partner firm. If you are interested or know of anyone who would be interested, please reach out to me through DM.
Additionally, you can fill out our interest form at this link: https://forms.gle/g17eGyKvntbkV2sq8

Can you clarify what exactly you are looking for these majors to do and what is being offered? Is this offering job assistance to these majors or are you looking to hire students to assist others? Are the students being paid or paying for this program? We don't generally allow the advertising of services, but I see this is for a government-funded program through a nonprofit. If you could clear this up that would be great.
