In cooperation with Northern Virginia Community College, Tysons-based Alarm.com launched an apprenticeship program Friday aimed at producing workers with in-demand tech skills.
Supported by the state’s GO Virginia economic development initiative, 10 initial apprentices, including three from the military community, will participate in Alarm.com’s paid yearlong apprenticeship program. They will receive 10 weeks of technical instruction at Northern Virginia Community College and nine months of on-the-job training from the home security and technology company.
The public-private partnership is designed as a template for businesses having trouble finding talent amid the current tight labor market.
