Information Technology Pathways

Cybersecurity

By 2025, 75.44 billion devices are expected to be connected to the Internet. Each device presents a potential vulnerability threat actors can exploit to steal information, damage assets, or commit acts of cyberterrorism. By becoming a security professional, you help protect the infrastructure of our nation's government and businesses from intrusions and attacks. TRECA offers the Cybersecurity pathway to help in this effort. You'll work towards becoming a security analyst using industry tools and techniques to identify and analyze threats. The pathway introduces operating systems with a focus on Linux, then moves on to monitoring and defending networks against malicious attacks.

Interactive Media

If a picture is worth a thousand words, interactive media is worth a million phrases! Interactive media is the design and development of visual graphics to convey a message and engage people. In this pathway, you'll learn about color theory and composition, raster graphics, vector drawing, and portfolio management, all in the Adobe Create Cloud. Courses include instruction on HTML/CSS, Photoshop, and Illustrator. Students completing the pathway gain skills and knowledge towards earning an Adobe industry certification.

Web Programming

<p> Hello, world! </p> Programming is creating instructions to control a computer. Without program software, computers would simply use electricity and flash lights. In this pathway, you’ll learn how to design and develop the instructions, called code. By mastering code, you can create animations, analyze math problems, author web sites, and develop basic games. The courses start with information technology, then move to web design, JavaScript programming, and animation.
