SCHAUMBURG, Ill.: #isaca--The Digital Trust Workforce Inclusion Program (DT-WIP), through a partnership between ISACA and the Fargo Moorhead West Fargo Chamber, is expanding this year’s reach to include North Dakota and Northwest/North Central Minnesota. This program opens new career pathways for underrepresented and underserved populations, offering training in IT, networks and infrastructure, cybersecurity fundamentals, software development, and data science.

The free program will serve a total of 50 students per class. ISACA-certified industry experts will provide virtual instruction twice a week from 18 February through 14 June 2025 using ISACA’s Information Technology Certified Associate (ITCA) certification coursework. Students will also benefit from job readiness workshops, certification exam prep, networking opportunities, and access to ISACA resources and training.

The courses will be provided across two cohorts, and participants are encouraged to take all classes in each cohort. Option 1 is geared toward those with little to no IT experience, with courses for ISACA’s Computing Fundamentals, Networks and Infrastructures, and Cybersecurity Fundamentals certificates. Option 2 is designed for those with some background in IT and features the courses for ISACA’s Cybersecurity Fundamentals, Software Development and Data Science certificates. These courses can serve as a starting point on a path toward earning the ITCA certification, which requires completion of all five certificate programs.

Digital trust professions—including those in cybersecurity, privacy, risk, IT audit and governance—are valued and increasingly in demand. This program aligns with ISACA’s academic and workforce development efforts to support the next generation of learners seeking in-demand IS/IT skills and communities looking to grow their digital trust workforce.

“For too long, IT careers have felt out of reach to many who come from underrepresented and underserved populations,” says Jeff Angle, ISACA senior director, academic and workforce development. “It is critical to expand these professional pathways to build a diverse and inclusive cyber workforce that fills the growing IS/IT staffing gap, providing secure, future-proof jobs for anyone with a passion for the field, regardless of their background.”

The deadline to apply for the program is 10 February. To learn more about the eligibility requirements and to apply for the program, visit https://bit.ly/2025DigitalTraining. The program does not require completion of high school or college.
