Employment guarantees backed by UT Knoxville's FUTURE program
Participants of the FUTURE program at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville bring valuable skills and a commitment to growth. See what they have to say about working with ZISC in Knoxville.
The FUTURE program connected me to a job where I actually use my skills every day. Zach took the time to train me on device setups and I feel confident working with customers one-on-one, which was something I worried about before.

FUTURE Program graduate, tech assistant at ZISC
I always wanted a job where I could help people with technology in a simple, friendly way. The guaranteed employment through FUTURE gave me that chance. ZISC focuses on making tech easy and that’s exactly what I do every day.
Marcus D.
FUTURE Program graduate, on-site support specialist
Before FUTURE and ZISC, I wasn’t sure how to turn my interest in technology into an actual career. Now I help families set up smart home devices and fix Wi-Fi issues. It feels good to be part of something that removes stress for people in Knoxville.
