About this event

Military Spouses are Shaping the Future of Tech

Military Spouses serve right alongside our airmen and airwomen with every PCS, deployment, and TDY. The Rosie Project is dedicated to empowering military spouses to harness their potential through an Information Technology career, so they can advance alongside their spouse’s military career.

NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED

NO PRIOR COURSES

NO PRIOR TECHNOLOGY EXPERTISE

OPEN TO ALL MILITARY SPOUSES PAST OR PRESENT

The Rosie Project is a free-to-attend, 6-month, paid Information Technology internship program for military spouses (men and women). The project was built in partnership with Weber State University and Hill Air Force Base. Military spouses attend courses that are specific to the needs of the Department of Defense. These courses will prepare them to pass IT Certifications and transition them to a full-time position at Hill AFB. In fact, these positions are often in high demand at any future installation where the service member will be assigned.

During the program development, it was realized that for many childcare was a limiting factor. Especially, if there was travel or long commuting involved. In fact, to eliminate this concern we have ensured that daycare is provided for parents with young children on in-person class days.

The event will have food trucks, beverages and games.
