Levels of Skills Standards: To begin, three levels of Skills Standards must be integrated into the program so that it meets the needs and expectations of IT Managers, the IT workforce, and the community. The High Level must include professional certifications and industry-specific technical skills, and knowledge and abilities unique to individual industries and organizations, such as A+, CCNA, MCSE, etc. The Mid Level must include technical skills, knowledge, and abilities common to all jobs within a career cluster, such as the core IT skills. The Low Level skills are those foundation skills, knowledge, abilities, and personal behaviors required to be successful in today’s workplace [3, 4

Projects selected by the students are usually reviewed to insurethat they are appropriate and feasible relative to the qualifications and interests of the interns. Aresearch mentor is then identified for each student selected and is committed to the interns’experience. The director then notifies applicants of their selections. Once all the students havebeen selected, an orientation meeting is held at MSU before leaving for their assignments.

Total employment exceeds25,000 and more than half have some level of technical qualification. However, with anew technology generation every 2 years, there is a need for continuous skills upgradingand the majority of students taking technology courses in ASU (or the CommunityColleges) are already working in the industry. Students are seeking courses that willprepare them for the technology of the future and the skills to map out the knowledge andcredentials their future career plans require.(*) Motorola
