Most of the Nation's Graduates in Specific IT Programs Attended ITT Technical Institute

Here is a bit of "PR"

CARMEL, Ind., June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --According to federal data provided for the 2013-2014 academic year, 45.2 percent of graduates with IT-CNS or NSA associate degrees earned their degrees at ITT Tech. The next postsecondary institution The majority of the nation's graduates with associate degrees in Information Technology-Computer Network Systems (IT-CNS) with similar degree programs graduated just over 5 percent of students, according to the most current data from the National Center for Education Statistics' Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System known as IPEDS.

"ITT Tech is proud to produce graduates for some of the most in-demand careers," said Kevin M. Modany, CEO of ITT Educational Services, Inc. "Each year, we work with approximately 3,400 employers to stay current with workforce trends and update our curriculum to meet the needs of employers

============

first 45% is a plurality, not a majority...something doesn't add up

Many of the "advisory board" members are long gone, but still listed in the catalog... would be interesting to see all the sign-in sheets of these board meetings.

Today, the following campuses have ITT web site postings for the IT chair position:

This gives 20 campuses with open IT chair positions...PLUS, not all campuses are replacing chairs (they might combine with another chair position, such as electronics)...several (more than a few) campuses do not accept new students, so they might not have a chair either....so how many campuses ACTUALLY have an true IT chair--to keep ITT "proud to produce graduates for some of the most in-demand careers"

Another big employer of ITT-Tech graduates is ................ITT-Tech!

Schools have a hard time finding instructors, due to its awful reputation and pay rate (less than half the rate of local community colleges.) And of course the grads have trouble finding jobs. Perfect set-up!

Half the IT instructors, at the campus I recently worked at, were recent ITT-Tech grads. Also, one of the electronics instructors, and a drafting/design instructor.

Most of these newbies were struggling as teachers. No books, faulty curriculum, students who thought they were going to learn game design, etc.

After one quarter of teaching, the new drafting and design grad (class of 2015) was much relieved to finally land a real job. Guess who hired him? An ITT-Tech grad from 2004!

CARMEL, Ind., June 13, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- The majority of the nation's graduates with associate degrees in Information Technology-Computer Network Systems (IT-CNS) and Network Systems Administration (NSA) were awarded their degrees from ITT Technical Institute.

"The graduates we've hired bring DEEP KNOWLEDGE on IT technologies, especially in information security, as well as soft skills which help us support customers worldwide," said Yasser Fuentes, head of Kaspersky Lab's technical support ......

Well, this is interesting--what would make him say this?? But, maybe ITT should mention he went there & has a good reason to toot ITT's horn. At least he did well with his degree--there are those who work hard & do so.

Modany sounds delusional. ITT Tech has zero to be proud of!

Carry on drinking and serving Kool Aid Kevin. The fat lady is tuning up.

ITT-Tech also has the most IT associate degree program drop-outs!

ITT-Tech has more unemployed, and underemployed, IT graduates than any other institution!
