Why WCCC
You work on real systems
You'll run the student help desk at WCCC, fixing and repairing Chromebooks for other students. Real tickets, real devices, and someone waiting on you to finish.
Keep your home school
You're still part of your home high school. Graduate with your class, and keep playing sports, going to prom, and showing up for homecoming.
Steady demand
About 48,700 computer support openings are projected each year through 2035, nearly all from people moving on or retiring. BLS expects that specific role to shrink 3% as automation handles routine tickets, while IT occupations overall grow 6% and pay a median of $109,470.
