DALLAS, TX (TIP): The launch of the Free IT Bootcamp 2025 at the Round Rock Public Library marked a significant milestone for the city’s ongoing efforts toward digital inclusion and workforce development. The inaugural event witnessed strong participation from the community, including youth, students, early-career professionals, and working adults seeking to build or transition into careers in information technology.
A major highlight of the event was the presence of the Honorable Mayor of Round Rock, Texas, Mr. Craig Morgan, who formally inaugurated the program and publicly honored and recognized the organizer, Mohammed Kashif, for his outstanding hard work, dedication, and commitment to serving the Round Rock community.
While addressing the gathering, Mayor Morgan applauded Kashif’s vision and initiative, emphasizing that the free and open-to-the-public IT Bootcamp 2025 will play a vital role in equipping individuals with essential computer and IT skills needed to secure employment. He further noted that the program would help participants enhance their existing technical capabilities through structured mentoring, ranging from basic computer skills to advanced IT concepts.
The Free IT Bootcamp 2025 has been thoughtfully designed to bridge the gap between academic learning and real-world industry requirements. Many students and early-career professionals, despite possessing strong theoretical knowledge, often face difficulties in job interviews due to limited practical exposure. At the same time, individuals from non-IT and blue-collar backgrounds who aspire to enter the technology sector frequently encounter financial constraints and a lack of access to proper guidance.
To address these challenges, Mohammed Kashif conceptualized the Free IT Bootcamp as a community-driven initiative focused on practical, industry-relevant training at no cost. The program covers a comprehensive range of IT fundamentals, including programming, databases, cybersecurity, cloud technologies, career readiness, and mentoring sessions aimed at building confidence and employability.
The Mayor’s public recognition of Kashif was met with warm appreciation from attendees, many of whom have registered to participate in the upcoming bootcamp sessions. Community members described the initiative as timely and impactful, highlighting its role in democratizing access to technology education and creating meaningful pathways to employment.
With strong community support and the endorsement of city leadership, the Free IT Bootcamp 2025 is set to become a transformative platform for Round Rock—empowering individuals with digital skills, professional guidance, and new opportunities in an increasingly technology-driven economy.
