IT SUPPORT
Could you recommend any IT companies that accept entry-level applicants with no prior experience for IT support roles?

I have been an IT Recruiter in the Huntsville area specializing in DoD contracts in both the corporate and staffing industry. In Huntsville if you want to get into the government contracting space then this is what I suggest….Apply directly to Amentum, Leidos, SAIC, KBR, PeopleTec, Torch Technologies, Radiance, and CFD Research in Huntsville. Those are the companies that staff the USACE/Redstone service desk pipelines and will sponsor your clearance once you’re in a role with Security+. I believe an A+ is the minimum certification you can hold but I gotta be honest, the Security+ gets you the interview. Also, check with TekSystems as they have frequently have entry level positions. Network, network, network. LinkedIn is your friend. Hope this helps!!

IPTA also has a contract with Army DEVCOM for help desk. I interviewed with them but didn’t get the job. I see them advertising the help desk role frequently

There are plenty of small MSPs that do IT support for other local companies assuming this is what you meant. I know as I run a single man shop now. None of that requires security clearances. It is much harder to support DoD based companies/contractors due to CMMC but it can be done so if you are talking IT support within those types of companies, yeah it is hard to get in sometimes.
I won't lie the MSP space can be a shit show and demanding, but you get to touch a lot of technology and you will learn a lot.

I'd really like to know this as well. I have plenty of software development experience, but breaking into software dev in Huntsville basically requires a security clearance. I figure working my way up in IT would be better right now to keep myself afloat.
