Technology Training

With the buildout of the Telecommunications and Technology Infrastructure Program (TTIP) in conjunction with the California State University (4Cnet), and the establishment of minimal technology hardware standards on each community college (T1 line, Videoconferencing, and satellite download) it is time to turn our attention to applications. Utilization of the infrastructure is tied in large part to the training available. Therefore, as part of the TTIP funding, there is a statewide coordination of training grant which identified DeAnza College as the fiscal agent.
