Fast-Track Your IT Career
Our curriculum emphasizes local employer needs and the certifications they value. We’ve been successful in placing our top students in local tech businesses with beginning salaries well above minimum wage, often before graduating. Local businesses and county offices regularly contact our faculty directly when they are looking for qualified candidates for current job openings.
Although our certificates are a valuable pathway to acquiring the skills employers are looking for, many businesses are more interested in 3rd-party certifications. Our programs prepare you for the following certifications:
- Cisco
- CompTIA Security+
- Microsoft
- CompTIA A+
In addition, we are the only college in our region offering classes in the state sponsored Innovative Technology Transfer Pathway (ITTP), we call this the “pathway to a job” because it allows you to start your IT career in less than a year.
