NCTT: Enterprise Community of Practice

作为NSF ATE卓越中心，国家电信技术中心（NCTT）领导了与工作相关的、经过行业验证的信息和通信技术（ICT）课程和材料的开发，这些课程和材料适用于从11年级到社区大学和四年制大学的课程。NCTT目前已与美国不同地区的10所学术机构建立了正式的地区伙伴关系，并正在审查与其他一些机构建立伙伴关系的机会。NCTT还为教师的专业成长提供了广泛的机会，包括讲习班、研讨会、新兴的网络内容，以及ICT学科中传统和非传统学习者的职业意识。与商业、工业和学术组织建立了战略伙伴关系，以制定一套国家认可的ICT技能标准。NCTT开发的独特内容和课程整合了工程技术和技能标准，并继续以数学和科学为重点。该项目以这些活动为基础，将技术人员教育提升到一个新的水平，以解决ICT行业的劳动力技能和需求。NCTT建立了一个劳动力发展企业实践社区，将劳动力、企业、教育机构和学习者整合在一起，以确定技术人员在信息技术与各种通信技术相结合的互联技术环境中有效工作所需的能力。此外，还建立了一个开放的内容系统，以开发和修改新课程，这是彼此之间以及与行业互动的结果。通过讲习班和利用新兴技术传播信息。

As an NSF ATE Center for Excellence, the National Center for Telecommunications Technology (NCTT) has led the development of work-relevant, industry-validated Information and Communications Technology (ICT) curricula and materials for use in programs spanning Grade 11 through community college and four-year college levels. NCTT has now established formal regional partnerships with 10 academic institutions in different regions of the U.S and is reviewing partnership opportunities with a number of other institutions. NCTT has also provided extensive opportunities for faculty professional growth including workshops, seminars, emerging web-based content, and career awareness for both traditional and non-traditional learners in ICT disciplines. Strategic partnerships have been forged with business, industry and academic organizations to develop a nationally validated set of ICT skill standards. The unique content and curriculum developed by NCTT integrates engineering technology and skill standards and continues to be math and science focused. This project builds upon those activities to transition technician education to the next level in addressing the workforce skills and needs of the ICT industry. NCTT establishes a Workforce Development Enterprise Community of Practice that integrates workforce, business, educational institutions and learners to determine the competencies needed by technicians who can work effectively in an environment of connected technologies - in which information technologies are integrated with diverse communications technologies. Also established is an open content system to develop and modify new curricula as a result of interactions with each other and with industry. Dissemination of information is through workshops and use of emerging technologies.
