Information Technology Career Cluster
The Information Technology Career Cluster is focused on building linkages in information technology occupations for entry level, technical and professional careers related to the design, development, support and management of hardware, software, multimedia and systems integration services.
Information Technology Program
With the speed and breadth of innovative change, students entering the next-generation technological workplace will need to be able to adapt to rapid change while thinking critically and creatively. The ever-changing and interactive nature of the technology workplace will also require students to demonstrate highly developed social and technical intelligence. The Information Technology Programs will provide interested students the opportunity to become engaged in an intensive technological program of studies developed through a collaborative relationship with the business and academic community.
Some courses in these programs are offered for Dual Enrollment through a partnership with Northern Virginia Community College.
A series of professional certificate programs are designed for the Standard or Advanced Diploma Student. These areas of study will immerse the student in a one- or two-year program of study, which after successful completion of the exam, could lead to professional industry certification.
