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.
