Great Training Creating Great Student Workers
Student Technical Training specializes in training students for
campus IT support work within the unique environment of the University
of Wisconsin-Madison. STT takes students from every discipline within
the University, and equips them with the skills that they need to
acquire and excel in campus IT positions.
STT helps connect potential employers with students through the
resources of this site. If you are a campus employer you may want
to spend a moment browsing the database of STT graduates. Employers can contact us to submit a job posting to this site.
The training that STT provides comes in several flavors.
A two-week information technology program that familiarizes students with hardware, software, and networking. Each topic includes a general overview, demonstration of best practices, and hands-on troubleshooting of actual technology, with customer service at the center of every discussion.
A one-week follow-up to Core I that builds on students' networking knowledge. Students are trained in advanced TCP/IP networking, configuring network operating systems (Windows Server, Linux, Mac OS X Server), and network security.
In seven days, students gain XHTML, CSS, Dreamweaver, and graphics
skills. A strong emphasis is placed on designing and maintaining
accessible and usable websites.
Web I graduates are able to take their web skills to the next level
by learning to build dynamic web sites. PHP and MySQL make up the
bulk of the instruction in this class.
Custom Courses and Special Topics
STT also provides courses tailored to campus employers' needs. Programs in the past included video, animation, audio, graphics, layout, and troubleshooting. Specialized classes extend the material taught in Core IT and Web Design by introducing new technologies, tools and methods.
Program Application
Students and employers should look for announcements throughout the
year for application information and deadlines, usually in April and October/November.
