Compumentor developed these toolkits for our Community Technology Center Apprenticeship Program. We are now sharing these tools with organizations interested in teaching their students basic Systems Administration skills. The toolkits do not include all you need to know about Systems Administration, but they do provide a good starting point!
What Is Included in the Training Toolkits?
These toolkits were designed to complement and enrich the Apprentices knowledge about desktop support and System Administration. The training utilizes an experiential and hands-on approach to learning with each week’s lesson highlighting a skill or task that most Systems Administrators would be asked to do if they were a lab manager.
