In a global marketplace, technology is constantly evolving, and so are business needs. These changes create a strong demand for highly qualified information technology (IT) professionals who both understand and can contribute to the dramatic impact technology can have on how we live and work.
The CA Academic Initiative helps colleges and universities deliver outstanding education and career opportunities to their students, and benefits the business community by ensuring a pool of IT talent. The CA Academic Initiative is designed to complement computer science, information systems, software engineering and business academic programs by providing resources for teaching and research.
Through the CA Academic Initiative, institutions can get free access to many tools and resources, such as CA Technologies software, faculty education, professional courseware and technical support. By partnering with CA Technologies, educational institutions can provide students with practical, real-world experience while enabling faculty to maintain leading-edge knowledge of software technologies and methodologies.
