The Wasatch Front Consortium is involved with Canyons, Granite, Salt Lake City and Tooele School Districts and the National Academy Foundation to provide students the opportunity to receive intensive training through the Academy of Information Technology (AOIT).
The National Academy model which has been adopted consists of three critical components:
• A career-themed small learning community comprises the resources, leadership, and support needed to sustain the Academy and features curriculum designed, reviewed, and updated regularly by a team of educators and industry experts.
• Community partnerships include the collaboration between the school and the larger community, toward the development of local advisory boards and paid student internships—a critical factor in connecting the “real world” to classroom study.
• Professional Development ensures that all stakeholders have regular opportunities to enhance their academy related skills and competencies through conferences, technical assistance materials, and other local activities.
