DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – Vital information on funding opportunities and other federal government initiatives to support information technology (IT) education and training programs will be explored at an upcoming webinar presented by CompTIA, the nonprofit association for the IT industry and workforce.
“Roadmap to Navigating and Utilizing Federal Funding” is set for 1:30 p.m. ET Wednesday, Sept. 25.
Speakers include Luke Rhine, acting assistant secretary for the Office of Career, Technical and Adult Education, U.S. Department of Education; Aubrey Barnett, vice president, U.S. academic sales, CompTIA; and Robert Owens, director, funding, research and analysis, CompTIA.
