Together with programs like CompTIA Tech+ and AI Essentials, these offerings help individuals build career-ready skills, help employers invest in talent, and enable educators to deliver industry-vetted curricula.

CompTIA continuously updates its content to reflect emerging technologies and evolving workforce needs, supported by a vast global partner network of academic institutions, nonprofits, and workforce organizations.
