We're KTech: Kutztown University's premier IT & CS club. Connected to Lehigh Valley AITP, KTech offers resources & regional IT pro connections. We host events, workshops & field trips. Additionally, we guide members on certifications & provide discounts. Our main goal is to provide a safe space for tech-savvy students, where members can dive deeper into tech topics than what they experience in regular classes, or learn about something niche and upcoming. Every month at KTech comes with various new events: from casual hangouts, engaging hands-on workshops, to talks/speeches from experienced tech pros and KU alumni. KTech also hosts many different field trips to and from businesses in the IT industry, allowing club members and students the opportunity to see first hand how a business operates.
Thinking about IT certifications? KTech is here to support you in your certificate career! We keep up with the latest industry trends and requirements, helping guide members towards the right certifications to boost their careers. Members also receive discounts to industry-standard certifications. KTech also provides students to work in groups for the certifications, so it feels more like a classroom environment than learning on your own.
Since 1951, the Association of Information Technology Professionals (AITP) has served the IT industry as a national organization and is committed to delivering to our members the recognition, support, and credibility that will give them the competitive edge needed to succeed. KTech (A Student-Driven Technology Association sponsored by the Lehigh Valley AITP, or The Association of Information Technology Professionals) is Kutztown University's leading club for students who are passionate about IT and computer science. When you join KTech, you also become part of the respected Lehigh Valley AITP. This dual membership doesn't just link you to a wider professional network; it also offers a wealth of resources and opportunities to connect with tech professionals in the region.
Our weekly meetings are all about sharing, innovating, and learning. We showcase new tech developments, discuss best ways to use technology, and discuss new ways to make KTech a great club for IT and CS professionals alike. Meetings are hosted every other Thursday 11AM in OM159, with details posted here and on Engage.
