The IT Workforce Accelerator (ITWA) is a state-of-the-art IT training center for the region serving K-12 students, individuals, and companies. The center also serves any YSU students interested in earning IT industry-recognized credentials as a non-credit option. The IT Workforce Accelerator addresses life, career, and readiness skills through badges offered by The Tressel Institute of Leadership and Teamwork.
Established through industry partnerships with IBM, WIA, Cisco, and others, the IT Workforce Accelerator now delivers in-demand IT skills training around software development, cybersecurity, cloud, artificial intelligence, networking, and telecommunications.
Soon relocating to Silvestri Hall, the center will also be home to the YSU Data Mine, a Data Science for All Learning Community where students of any major and year can learn the foundations of data science while applying their skills with real-world corporate-sponsored projects. Students will earn up to 4 credit hours per semester for participating in the program.
