The Information Technology Academy (ITA) is an innovative pre-college initiative for diverse students in the state of Wisconsin. In Madison, ITA competitively recruits 30 students each year in their final semester of 8th grade. Selected students receive four years of intensive training for high-tech, IT-related careers and thorough preparation for competitive university admissions and study.
Madison Public Library accepts 1-2 ITA Madison students every summer for a media-production based internship.
ITA’s Tribal Technology Institute (TTI) students in Lac du Flambeau and Oneida enjoy a 3-year experience that was developed based on the very successful Madison model. These students are recruited in 9th grade and receive 3 years of intensive training and support.
