The TechWorks employer partner network consists of some of the largest IT staffing and consulting companies in the US. After the program, students may continue to receive on-going, relevant job leads for open IT positions.

TechWorks relies on an intentional student curriculum and end-user experience that prepares students for two industry certifications: CompTIA IT Fundamentals and CompTIA A+. Additionally, modern business communication, job search strategies, and IT career exploration content is integrated throughout the curriculum. Successful students may even qualify for up to 21 credits with a partner educational institution, such as Indiana Tech University. 

The CompTIA IT Fundamentals certification covers six core competencies that lay the foundation for more complex concepts found later in the curriculum: 

• IT Concepts & Terminology
• Infrastructure
• Applications & Software
• Software Development
• Database Fundamentals
• Security

The CompTIA A+ certification is comprised of two exams and covers nine core competencies that are important to the daily work of many Computer User Support Specialists. Students will also use the Virtual PC Builder to complete hands-on, simulated hardware assembly activities to reinforce the skills learned in the virtual classroom. 

• Mobile Devices
• Networking
• Hardware
• Virtualization & Cloud Computing
• Hardware & Network Troubleshooting
• Operating Systems
• Security
• Software Troubleshooting
• Operational Procedures

The IT Fundamentals and A+ follow the CompTIA Certification Roadmap and are stackable credentials that reinforce the knowledge that is required to secure a level 1 or 2 technical support, help desk, remote technician, and other related positions. CompTIA is the global industry-standard for vendor neutral technology certifications. The certification exams consist of multiple-choice and performance-based questions. They are proctored by a third-party vendor and delivered online or in-person at an authorized testing center.
