CIPS has signed an agreement with the Canadian Council for Tomorrow’s ICT Skills (CCICT) to manage the Business Technology Management (BTM) program accreditation. BTM is an undergraduate professional program that was introduced in February 2009 that focuses on producing graduates who have the capability profile that has become the new norm for employers and includes technical and soft skills (business knowledge, leadership, business analysis, and project management) and includes a key component that manages the transition from graduation to employment.  The program was developed in partnership with CCICT’s 30+ major employers and academics from business and computing disciplines and is a structured around learning outcomes for a holistic program.
