Updated learning solution for schools and workforce programs prepare students and job seekers for success in an increasingly digital world
DOWNERS GROVE, Ill. – CompTIA, a leading global provider of vendor-neutral technology training and certifications, has launched Digital Literacy Pro V3, an updated curriculum designed to help students and adult learners develop the digital, AI and technology skills needed for success in school, work and everyday life.
Digital Literacy Pro V3 combines digital literacy, digital citizenship, software applications, keyboarding and AI fundamentals into a single learning solution for middle and high school students, adult learners and workforce development participants.
The launch comes as educators and employers place greater emphasis on digital skills while concerns grow over declining technology proficiency. Federal data show U.S. eighth-grade students' computer and information literacy scores declined between 2018 and 2023, while participation in computer science courses remains limited.
"Digital skills have become essential for education, employment and daily life," said Becky Mann, vice president of content development at CompTIA. "Digital Literacy Pro helps learners build the confidence and practical skills to use technology effectively, responsibly and productively while creating pathways to additional education and career opportunities."
Built for schools and workforce programs
Digital Literacy Pro V3 provides structured, hands-on instruction that supports academic achievement, career readiness and lifelong learning. New and updated content includes:
- Enhanced digital citizenship and online professionalism lessons
- Improved keyboarding and software applications training
- New interactive labs featuring Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint[1]
- Updated hardware simulations
- Expanded instruction on AI concepts, tools and responsible AI use
The curriculum also includes a Digital Literacy Competency Assessment that measures learner proficiency across key technology skill areas. In addition, Digital Literacy Pro aligns with CompTIA Tech+, allowing learners to prepare for and pursue an industry-recognized certification through an integrated Tech+ practice test module.
Together, Digital Literacy Pro and CompTIA Tech+ provide schools and workforce organizations with a comprehensive framework for teaching digital fluency, measuring outcomes and preparing learners for post-secondary education and employment.
