Over six months, students engage in interactive online labs, real-world troubleshooting simulations, and a capstone project that begins in the first week and culminates in a polished portfolio showcasing job-ready expertise.The updated curriculum blends traditional IT foundations\u2014hardware, software, networking, and security\u2014with AI-driven workflows that accelerate diagnostics, automate repetitive tasks, and strengthen decision-making. Students also receive training in Microsoft 365 administration, cybersecurity, customer service, digital communication, and professional readiness, ensuring a well-rounded education in both technical and workplace skills.\u201cThis approval represents a milestone for Unitech Online and the future of IT education,\u201d said Jacob Landry, President of Unitech Online. \u201cBy integrating AI into every stage of the curriculum, we\u2019re not only teaching students how to support technology but also how to use technology more intelligently and ethically to serve people. And by offering this program fully online, we\u2019re making those skills accessible to students wherever they are.\u201dNoah Brandon, President of Unitech Training Academy, added: \u201cWhen we began revising this program, we asked leaders in IT to contribute and tell us what the future of the field looks like. We listened carefully, and their feedback is now built into this curriculum. Unitech is committed to developing people and preparing graduates for roles that demand adaptability, problem-solving, and the confidence to apply AI responsibly in real-world environments.\u201dThe Lafayette Regional Technology Council was one group that helped contribute to this program revamp. Formed earlier this year, the LRTC wants to strengthen and grow Lafayette\u2019s technology ecosystem by supporting collaboration and growth within the local tech community through programming focused on talent development, connections & knowledge sharing, business growth, and advocacy.\u201cThe Lafayette Regional Technology Council was proud to advise Unitech on how to best integrate AI training into its IT curriculum. Helping local educators stay ahead of emerging technologies ensures our regional talent remains competitive, while also strengthening the overall tech community we\u2019re building here in Acadiana,\u201d said Ben Johnson, LRTC Chairman.The fully online AI-Integrated IT program will be offered through Unitech Online, making it accessible to students across Louisiana. The program is expected to start on Sept. 30.For more information or to enroll, call (337) 564-5713 or visit unitechta.edu.\u00a0About Unitech Training AcademyUnitech Training Academy is a proprietary career school with six campuses across Louisiana and online programs serving students in Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi.
