Building Your Career
As a connection between the businesses and public schools of Montgomery County, the Information Technology Foundation (ITF) program is an outstanding resource for students seeking to build the foundation for a long-term career in the information technology industry. Students in the Network Operations program work toward industry-standard CompTIA certification in A+ computer hardware and operating systems and Network+ computer network configuration and administration.
Beyond the classroom, the ITF program has helped extend the capabilities of these programs with state-of-the-art equipment; face-to-face contact with working professionals in the IT industry; and first-hand experience through the ITF program, where students sell the computers they have reconditioned.
Upon completion of this unique program, students are prepared to pursue two- or four-year degrees in computer technology at the college level.
Based on ITF's extensive interaction with Montgomery County information technology businesses, ITF students are well-versed to begin successful careers with long-term promise. In addition, students are prepared to begin working immediately at several skilled entry-level positions.
