Peter Liefer, President of web design agency, PrimeView, helps prepare AZ high school students for successful information technology careers
In partnership with Arizona State University, the Arizona Department of Education recently held a career and technical skills standards assessment meeting, reviewing the current information technology preparation standards for secondary education. Professionals from across the state were selected to participate on the panel based on their expertise. Peter Liefer, the President of web design and Internet marketing agency, PrimeView, recently participated in this information technology panel, and gave his insight on the education Arizona high school students need to better prepare themselves for careers involving information technology.
The standard validation team meeting was held at the downtown ASU campus in central Phoenix. Information technology professionals reviewed four main program areas currently taught in Arizona high schools, including computer maintenance, networking technology, software development, and web page development.
According to the Arizona Tech Prep website, the validation team meets to ensure secondary education coursework is not duplicated within the information technology program and ensure the necessary skills for information technology success are tackled before students seek careers after high school and college.
“The world of technology continues to evolve, and preparing students for these changes is crucial for their future career success,” said Peter Liefer, President of PrimeView. “I was honored to have the privilege to participate in a panel to help map out the most important technological elements students at the secondary education level should know.”
