The Creating IT Futures Foundation was first established in 1998 as the CompTIA Educational Foundation by CompTIA, the IT Industry Association. Through the Foundation’s centerpiece program, Creating Futures, the Foundation consistently provided training and certification opportunities to people who have historically been under-represented in the information technology workforce, including individuals with disabilities, at-risk youth, women, and military personnel and their spouses.
