Igniting Futures in Tech

Learner-Centered
With SparkNC, students choose learning experiences that ignite their passions. They choose what, where, and how they learn, selecting from an extensive menu of learning experiences in on-demand and experiential formats.

Industry-Relevent
Businesses partner with SparkNC to help students grow their professional networks and build the durable skills employers value. Students gain a competitive edge by completing real-world projects that create strong portfolios of relevant work.

Competency-Based
Students move at their own pace. They can speed up, or slow down, based on their interests, prior knowledge and learning needs. SparkNC sets learning targets and empowers lab leaders to advise and support each student on a personalized path to success.

Why We Do It
Too few learners know about high-tech roles that will dominate the future job market in North Carolina. Even fewer see pathways for themselves into these careers.
