Work location: Training and onboarding are conducted remotely, so you can join from anywhere in the United States. All teaching sessions must be held in person at an approved local site — such as a library, school, community center, or nonprofit space — in your own city or area. TechElevate will coordinate your host site placement based on where you are located.
