It's a smart way to stay informed. gmtoday.com By Alison Fox Freeman Staff PEWAUKEE — Waukesha County Technical College will offer a new program this fall with training opportuni- ties for high-in-demand careers in information tech- nology. The Network Enterprise Administrator-INTERFACE Accelerated Pathway pro- gram is designed for veter- ans, their spouses and stu- dents eligible for Trade Adjustment Assistance pro- grams, Workforce Investment Act programs and Workforce Development Vocational Rehabilitation programs. It will also be offered to unem- ployed individuals and quali- fied adults seeking the next career step. The program could poten- tially help fill the skills gap by offering a special pathway for network enterprise administrator-cyber security education, according to a WCTC press release. Network enterprise admin- istrators are responsible for the day-to-day operations and security of computer net- works that are a critical part of almost every organization, and the program will provide students with the skills and experience to support cur- rent industry technology implementations. The program will consist of multiple credential opportu- nities in certificate form including enterprise support technician, IT network sup- port specialist, storage and virtualization administrator, and IT security administra- tor — all leading toward the final credential, the technical diploma. "The program's greatest benefits lie in the additional services of in-class tutors to support students throughout the accelerated/hybrid cours- es, and the four semesters of work-based service learning projects integrated into the curriculum," said Danielle Hoffman, WCTC's IT skills and placement coordinator. "Embedded industry-recog- nized certificates earned each semester lead to possi- ble job opportunities. Com- bined with enhanced job search assistance, we expect many students will be work- ing in their chosen field well before graduation." Hoffman said INTERFACE is a two-year program and students will earn the certifi- cates along the way, one cer- tificate for each semester. She said the program is designed for students to complete all four semesters, but expects some students will find careers after receiving cer- tificates in their desired field. The program is funded through the Trade Adjust- ment Assistance Community College and Career Training Grant program, which pro- vided a $23.1 million grant to be shared among Wisconsin's 16 technical colleges. www.wctc.edu Email: afox@conleynet.com WCTC to offer program for high-in-demand careers
