About ITSInstitute ...

The Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services (ITS)Education Services Division offers an ongoing educational programdesigned to enhance and improve the computer and communicationsskills of personnel within state government. The training program iscommonly called ITS Institute. The curriculum is structured so that aperson with no experience can begin with an introductory course and, ifappropriate, progress to highly advanced levels of informationprocessing.

The ITS Institute uses an automated system for course scheduling,registration, permanent records, and student transcripts. This systemprovides the necessary documentation for state agencies and thestudents regarding their training accomplishments. Certificates areprovided to students upon successful completion of courses.

During Fiscal Year 1998, ITS offered more than 186 classes toapproximately 1,900 students representing 73 state agencies, 7universities, 4 community colleges, and 6 governing authorities.Enrollment has increased an average of 10 to 15 percent annuallyduring the last ten years, and the Institute curriculum has beenexpanded as the demand for information systems skills has increased.The ITS Institute provides the necessary education and training to makestate personnel more productive at a significantly lower cost thanoutside training sources.

CustomizedTraining

The ITS Institute has the resources to provide instruction in almost anyinformation systems area needed by state government employees. Inaddition to the regularly scheduled courses, we will design a class tomeet your specific training needs.

ContinuingEducation isthe Key toSuccess

The future of Mississippi government depends on efficient execution ofthe services it provides. State budget constraints make it imperative thatagencies use information technology effectively to increase personnelproductivity. If agencies cannot perform their tasks more efficiently,services which they provide cannot be maintained, much less expandedto meet pressing needs. Continuing education and training are essentialfor the effective planning, implementation, support, and use of thesetechnological solutions. The ITS Education Services Division offers anexcellent means of fulfilling these goals in a cost-effective way.
