The California Department of Technology is now accepting applications for the Information Technology Leadership Academy (ITLA) 23.
Academy participants are selected from state agencies and departments that work in IT. The annual nine-month training program is designed to groom the next generation of technology leaders.
Under the mentorship of an executive sponsor, the class participates in a rigorous series of classroom sessions, lectures, forums and field trips. Classes are taught by private instructors, public-sector IT executives and prior graduates; each class also develops a class project.
Focus areas typically include public speaking, how to manage a budget and develop an IT plan, vendor management, procurement, conflict resolution, and project management.
