Like with any program like this or similar, I always say job placement assistance is also needed.
Training and mentorship is great, but sometimes folks need help getting their foot in the door. Long story short I lost a good paying full time job in 2013, and a family services program helped me get back on me feet. Fast forward to today, and I'm close to making what I was in 2013.
It was a long road, and what helped me the most was the job placement assistance they provided. That and getting a certificate in the A+ field, even if I didnt finish. They pointed me in that direction, a free program for low income folks I had no idea existed. (If I try to get back in now its gonna cost me thousands, lol. That its a regular certificate class that has slots for low income ppl is nice.)
That said, major props to Sony for doing this. Some ppl last year said they could do more than just donate money. Well, here you go.
