As the lines between traditional functional services and departments begin to blur\, the IT leadership is charged with: \n\n\n\n\nManaging the constantly expanding role for IT within your government\n\n\n\nProtecting your government against ever-increasing security threats\n\n\n\nKeeping up with the feverish pace of new technology.\n\n\n\n\nThe purpose of this program is to equip leaders with the requisite tools to manage and improve their organizational technology assets.

At this time\, we worked with similar programs at UNC School of Government and Florida Institute of Government at Florida State University to create a consortium to develop and maintain consistent requirements and courses. PTI serves as the consortium coordinator. \n\n\n\nPrerequisites/Eligibility\n\n\n\nIn order to participate in the program\, PTI requires the following four requisites for the CIO Certification Program:1. Minimum 7 Years of private or public managerial experience in the technology field\, at least 3 years of technology management.*2. Agree by signature to a self-enforced code of ethics.3. Completion of application stating why the applicant wants to enroll in this program\, what he or she brings to the class\, and the students’ expectations.4. Full payment upon acceptance to the program.*Prospective students may petition the program director for waiver of this requirement.
