IT Project Coordinator

As part of the INCAP IT Project Coordinator apprenticeship, you'll learn a mix of technical, project management, and professional skills that prepare you for careers across the technology industry.

• Project management skills: Project planning, scheduling, work breakdown structures, and risk and issue tracking

• Communication skills: Stakeholder communication and meeting facilitation

• Technical skills: Project management tools like Microsoft Project, Jira, and Smartsheet, plus applied AI for project productivity

• Quality skills: Change control and quality management basics

• Professional skills: Time management, teamwork, accountability, and clear communication

As part of the INCAP IT Project Coordinator apprenticeship, you'll continue taking your regular high school classes — there are no required courses at your high school. All relevant coursework will be taught to you during your time at your employer and intercompany training center. However, students are encouraged to take related classes if available at their school. The only requirement is that your school schedule allows you to leave the school building to work while still completing the classes you need to graduate.

Through this apprenticeship, students will meet the key requirements for Indiana’s new Employment Honors Plus diploma seal: completing at least 650 hours of work-based learning and earning an INCAP credential, which is recognized by the Indiana Department of Education as a Credential of Value. The diploma seal and the INCAP credential are recognized by employers across Indiana as indicators of industry experience, and the INCAP credential may count toward college credit in a related degree program. IT Project Coordinators also earn a CompTIA Project+ certification and a CAPM (Certified Associate in Project Management) preparation credential.
