A+ and Network+ Certification Equipment / Virtual Lab Print All

Initiative Title	A+ and Network+ Certification Equipment / Virtual Lab
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	As workforce development programming grows, certain courses will need equipment to provide a hands-on learning component. This includes providing PC Computer Repair Technician and Networking certification training leading to entry-level IT positions. These courses are in need of an equipment upgrade since the previous equipment was purchased over 6 years ago. Offering CompTIA A+ and Network+ workforce development training classes will provide another opportunity to community members to receive college credit through the existing articulation agreement between CAPE and Computer Science and Technology Department.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Absence of new equipment will prevent the College from offering A+ and Network+ certification classes. Not able to fully realize the existing articulation agreement between CAPE and Computer Science and Technology Department. No hand-on learning opportunities
Department Goals	Develop strategies for aligning credit/non-credit programs to address workforce needs, new opportunities, and resource allocation, Strengthen leadership in regional workforce development, economic growth, and quality of life in our communities by providing an educated and skilled workforce while addressing business and industry needs and workforce equity
