Connecting people, technolgoy & solutions
Companies like Verizon and AT&T are spending billions of dollars in infrastructure projects despite economic doom and gloom reported in the news. Demand for qualified skills will create high technology jobs around the United States as the projects begin over the next two to three years. “Proper vocational skills training will play a critical part in the supply of the broadband/fiber based technology demand that is growing as a direct result of the funds allocated for stimulating the economy by the new Presidential Administraion"
The current American Recovery Act is driving various infrastructure projects creating jobs that include installation of data, voice, video and broadband networks in rural areas. These stimulus funded projects will also include installation of new Healthcare Networks, Green Energy Technology with updated optical networks to lessen the carbon footprint in America and physical construction sites lying fiber optics along roadways and in buildings to be in compliance with future ITS technology.

Graduating students will be certified in Cabling and Fiber Optics by the Fiber Optic Association and receive Continued Education Credits (CEC’s) from BICSI that can be applied toward your RCDD certification.
Upon graduation our students will be able to demonstrate a high level of competency in infrastructure installation and maintenance.
