Congratulations to SA’s first AWS re/Start Graduates

Academy IT would like to congratulate the first AWS re/Start Program graduates in South Australia! Academy IT is a proud Amazon Web Services (AWS) collaborating organisation delivering this fantastic program to prepare unemployed and underemployed individuals for cloud careers!

Through scenario-based learning, hands-on labs, and coursework, learners can gain the technical and soft skills they need for an entry-level cloud role. AWS re/Start also provides learners with resume and interview coaching to prepare them for employer meetings and interviews.
