This program prepares students to repair, maintain, design, configure, install, and troubleshoot computer hardware, software, and network systems. By participating in hands on and work-based learning experiences, students gain valuable skills leading to opportunities for CompTIA A+ professional certification, entry level jobs, and/or university placement in the computer and network field. Areas of focus include computer maintenance and repair, computer security, operating systems, local area networks, programming, Internet and Web, and related topics. Community college dual enrollment credit will be offered. Students gain valuable leadership and employment skills and receive opportunities for scholarships and community involvement by participating in SkillsUSA, a state and national career and technical student organization. This year the Phoenix Union High School District will adopt a basic student textbook and/or comparable digital resources and materials for the courses stated in the RFP.
