 The
California Community College (CCC) ICT
Collaborative has been formed to proactively focus
on and improve CCC educational services in one of the state’s
most strategic sectors:
Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).
 Information
and Communication Technologies (ICT) is an umbrella term,
widely used outside the U.S. and in the U.N., to encompass all
rapidly emerging, evolving and converging computer, software,
networking, telecommunications, Internet, programming and
information systems technologies.
 The CCC
ICT Collaborative mission is to:
advance ICT education programs at
California community colleges and enable a diverse student
population to succeed in meeting industry and business ICT
workforce needs.
One in four community college students in the U.S. attends a
California community college. This Perkins Title IB (state
leadership) funded collaborative, awarded by the
CCC Chancellor’s office Career Education Practices Unit,
provides a proactive, strategic focus on ICT jobs, which
employ 1 in 20 private sector workers in California today, pay
twice the median wage, expect strong job growth and for which
employers report difficulty finding appropriately skilled
workers, even in this period of high unemployment.
The CCC ICT Collaborative is building on and leveraging
efforts and resources of the Mid-Pacific ICT Center (MPICT), a
Regional Center of Excellence funded by the National Science
Foundation Advanced Technological Education program.
CCC ICT Collaborative membership currently includes MPICT team
leaders, a CCC Chancellor’s office Project Monitor, several at
