Information technologies industry group Digital Nova Scotia has opened applications across Atlantic Canada for its new, $3.7 million jobs training program, which it announced earlier this year.

Dubbed Skills for Hire Atlantic, the initiative is a federally funded partnership between Digital Nova Scotia and St. John’s professional training company Bluedrop ISM.

This year’s Skills for Hire programming will include two streams, one for students interested in data analytics and another for cybersecurity. The self-directed program will be 20 weeks long and is designed to leverage Digital Nova Scotia’s industry connections to help students find career opportunities.

The program starts July 10, but the application deadline is June 12 at 9:00 a.m. More information can be found here.
