Track overview
What this learning path covers.
This track focuses on the operational habits used to maintain business systems. Work is expected to use controlled lab or approved non-production environments and may introduce operating-system administration, directory concepts, routine health checks, change records and recovery preparation.
This is an expression-of-interest track. Final scope, schedule, supervision, selection and availability are confirmed only for an approved internship engagement.
Learning outcomes
Capabilities to develop.
