MakeIt Haverhill will add a new cybersecurity certification course for young adults later this fall. Founder Keith Boucher told Haverhill city councilors this week the nonprofit recently partnered with CyberWarrior for a new IT certification program for job seekers. “They work on cybersecurity which is an up-and-coming opportunity for the IT industry,” adding “Working with them and working with the Merrimack Valley Workforce Investment Board, together we were able to get a grant to go off and do some training for people that have a GED or a high school graduation, that type of thing.”
He said the program is available for unemployed adults ages 18 to 24 who have a high school diploma or equivalent credentials. “What they end up getting is a five-month course, this is a paid opportunity…By the time it’s all over they’ll have [a] Microsoft Azure certification.”
Boucher says MakeIT Haverhill seeks eight to 10 people who are unemployed and either receiving government assistance or are learning English as a second language.

Chris Sununu signed House Bill 1569 which would eliminate any exceptions to the state’s Voting ID laws and require a birth certificate or passport. Because the bill will not go into effect for 60 days from its signing Thursday, it will not impact the 2024 election cycle, which includes the Nov. 5 election and its earliest implementation date would be Nov.
