On this episode of the Palmetto Guardian we talk with Craig Perry, program director for Create Opportunity. We learn about their software developer training and apprenticeship program and how this could be a great opportunity for service members and their families. We discuss the screening process, how long the program is and how you can benefit from being a part of this training. The Palmetto Guardian is hosted by Staff Sgt. Chelsea Weaver, Spc. Ana-Grace and Intern Jay Riddle, with the South Carolina National Guard Public Affairs office.
