Courtney Crawford graduated from the Kable Academy and now works as a web developer for the Solution Agency.

A 12-week boot camp is closing the local technology gap by training people who were previously under-employed or stuck in hourly jobs with no opportunity for long-term growth, for new opportunities.

The Kable Academylaunched in 2020 in response to the region’s need for more information technology training. Students going through the program do not have loans; instead the academy delays tuition payments until after a graduate has a job.

Joining Cincinnati Edition to discuss the Kable Academy are The Kable Group Partner Josh Guttman; Solution Agency Partner Tom Hobson; and Solution Agency web developer Courtney Crawford.

The Kable Academy is a financial supporter of Cincinnati Public Radio.

Listen to Cincinnati Edition live at noon M-F. Audio for this segment will be uploaded after 4 p.m. ET.
