Welcome to the National Convergence Technology Center
The National Convergence Technology Center (CTC) helps colleges meet the fast-growing demand from business and industry seeking IT specialists (mobile networks, edge computing, private/public cloud computing, "Internet of Things," mobile device integration, storage and network virtualization, video and voice integration, all over a secure network). Specifically, the National CTC actively:
- Engages a Business and Industry Leadership Team (BILT) to identify needed skills which inform curriculum updates nationally.
- Invigorates faculty to teach emerging technologies through professional development.
- Provides virtual lab capability for students to reduce costs and increase availability. We implement best practices for recruiting, retaining and graduating underserved students.
- Uses stackable certificates and articulation agreements to increase the number of students completing certificates and degrees.
- Supports high schools, colleges, and universities nationally through the "Convergence College Network" (CCN) Community of Practice (CoP) whereby members share expertise with one another to improve their IT programs.
- Disseminate materials and processes via websites, webinars, conference presentations, social media and white papers.
