Academy of Emerging Technology
Students participate in a program that focuses on two separate strands: Financial Technology or Cybersecurity.
In the Cybersecurity track, students will learn how to connect computer hardware, install software, network computers, and set-up systems to keep data confidential and secure. Advanced courses will teach students to protect computers from cyberattacks.
Students will have the opportunity to earn certification in Information Technology Specialist in Networking and Network Security, CompTIA’s Tech+, and EC Council Ethical Hacker Essentials.
