Crescent Career Center is excited to welcome high school students who want to explore the world of technology this summer. Our two programs—the Tech+ Summer Program and the IT Summer Program—offer a chance to learn fundamental IT skills, meet industry professionals, and connect with others who share your curiosity.
You can learn more about each program by visiting the program pages or contacting our helpful team!
Tech+ Summer Program
The Tech+ Summer Program runs from July 7 to August 1, 2025, on weekdays from 8:00 a.m. to noon. Over these four weeks, you’ll work through the basics of information technology and prepare for the CompTIA Tech+ certification exam, a credential that can stay with you for life.
By the time you finish, you’ll have a stronger grip on core IT concepts and a résumé booster that stands out when you apply for future opportunities. The program cost is $4,495.
IT Summer Program
The IT Summer Program offers shorter sessions across nine possible weeks in June, July, and August. You can enroll in a half-day block from 8 am-12 pm or 1-5 pm, or you can come for a full day from 8 am-5 pm with a break for lunch.
Every session covers new ground, from the parts of a computer and different operating systems to résumé-building, office etiquette, and an introduction to IT pathways like networking and cybersecurity. Half-day sessions cost $300 per week, and full-day sessions are $550.
