What is VA STAR?

Through The Virginia Student Training and Refurbishment program (VA STAR), students refurbish surplus hardware from state agencies or private companies and earn IT repair certification. Once refurbished, these computers are donated to families and organizations who need a computer. 

Students in the VA STAR program can earn IT repair certifications and skill sets that can develop into well-paying jobs. The program is administered through Prince William County Public schools and its SPARK Education Foundation.  

VA STAR  is currently in 24 school districts and 39 sites throughout the Commonwealth.
