To address the needs of the US to increase the Information and Communication Technology (ICT) workforce with enhanced preparation and a diverse population of prepared secondary students, this strategies ITEST project will strengthen the current regional partnerships in place between secondary schools, the University of Cincinnati's Instructional Technology (IT) and STEM education programs, and local industries. This collaboration will develop layered programs for cohorts of secondary students, including those typically under-represented in ICT careers and in-service and pre-service secondary STEM teachers. The participants will engage in a range of ICT experiences beginning with fundamental ICT exposure coursework through selective accelerated courses and internships. This effort will incorporate university-based learning experiences, school-based learning experiences, and industry-based experiences for the students and educators. The project will also develop an innovative network and cloud-based virtual lab infrastructure for resource sharing across a multi-faceted system.The project will add to the research in the area of ICT focused on mechanisms for expanding student participation; understanding the sets of experiences that support student competency and persistence into ICT careers; and broadening the demographics of students in ICT programs and careers. The research responds to the need to understand how students with different levels of academic success and support consider ICT career pathways. This can serve to develop better support systems to expand the ICT workforce. Finally, the research will document how regional networks can be leveraged to form a coherent effort, rather than a diversity of individual efforts with the similar but potentially divergent goals. The research/evaluation questions are: (1) What is the impact of students' previous academic preparation on understanding of ICT careers and workforce choices? (2) How does a student's previous academic preparation influence the student's success in engaging in design-based ICT learning activities? (3) Which activities are most engaging for students typically underrepresented in ICT careers and programs? and (4) In what ways do the partners, parents, and industry interact to form a comprehensive network in support of ICT career pathways for students?

为了满足美国的需求，以增加信息和通信技术（ICT）的劳动力，加强准备和准备中学生的多样化人口，这一战略ITEST项目将加强中学，辛辛那提大学的教学技术（IT）和STEM教育计划，以及当地产业之间的现有区域伙伴关系。这项合作将为中学生群体开发分层计划，包括那些在ICT职业中代表性不足的学生以及在职和职前中学STEM教师。参加者将通过选择性速成课程和实习，从基本的信通技术接触课程开始，获得一系列信通技术经验。这项工作将结合大学为基础的学习经验，学校为基础的学习经验，并为学生和教育工作者的行业为基础的经验。 该项目还将开发一个创新的网络和基于云的虚拟实验室基础设施，以便在多方面的系统中共享资源。该项目将增加ICT领域的研究，重点是扩大学生参与的机制;了解支持学生能力和ICT职业坚持的经验集;并扩大ICT课程和职业的学生人口统计。该研究回应了了解不同学术成功水平的学生如何考虑ICT职业途径的需要。这有助于发展更好的支助系统，以扩大信通技术工作队伍。最后，这项研究将记录如何利用区域网络来形成一个协调一致的努力，而不是具有类似但可能不同目标的各种单独努力。研究/评价问题是：（1）学生以前的学术准备对了解信通技术职业和劳动力选择有什么影响？(2)学生以前的学术准备如何影响学生在从事设计为基础的信息和通信技术学习活动的成功？(3)哪些活动对ICT职业和项目中代表性不足的学生最具吸引力？以及（4）合作伙伴、家长和行业如何互动，形成一个全面的网络，支持学生的信息和通信技术职业道路？
