Fresh Install of El Capitan

I have an iMac that I inherited from the previous IT director. I’ve searched all over Google and spoken with Apple support, but I cannot upgrade from Yosemite to El Capitan. I need to be on El Capitan so that I can use an app that is required for my job. I have a USB set to boot from, but the Mac will not see it, if I try to boot from it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
