Understand the technology behind the job titles
Explore hardware, operating systems, application software, networking, cybersecurity, enterprise IT components, storage, databases, virtualization, and cloud technology. Learn how these areas relate to everyday information tasks and discover examples of the people and teams involved. The course also introduces IT management and other IT jobs so you can compare responsibilities and investigate their prerequisites.

All selected audio characters use American accents.
Download resources you can use as you learn
Four branded, fillable PDFs support your progress: an IT career interest brief, a technology role comparison, a service-and-team map, and an integrated career-direction workbook. They appear in relevant sections, with space to record evidence, uncertainties, and next steps. Existing section assignments provide additional reflection and practice.
Use the final career-direction portfolio assignment to compare two paths using current public vacancies.
Map a fictional service, identify a learning gap, and define a small authorized practice activity.
Create a two-week research and learning plan with a review date and criteria for reconsidering your direction.
