theCAT provides IT services to the Maseeh College of Engineering and Computer Science. The Braindump is our training program for volunteers.
We talk about who we are, what we do, the Braindump, what it takes, and The Deal. Hear from people who took the challenge and find out where it took them.
You must attend Braindump Orientation on Friday October 9th, 2020 at 6pm via Zoom to join theCAT.
Learn everything we know about running systems and networks in exchange for your time. Explore roles in IT (sysadmin, networking, user support, application development, IT management, etc.) while building up your tech- nical chops. It’s real world experience, and makes for excellent resume fodder.
Be a PSU student, enthusiastic, learn quickly, love computers and be insanely curious about them, and have good social skills.
