The Information Technology (IT) Department was established in August 1986 with the goal of training professionals in computer hardware and software design and maintenance. Initially, six classes of "Information Technology" were offered each year. In 2004, the school established a comprehensive high school program. To accommodate this new system, the IT Department reduced the intake of one IT class annually in 2005 and 2006, while adding one class per year to the comprehensive high school’s "Information Technology Program." Later, as the comprehensive high school program was phased out, the department reverted to six classes of "Information Technology" and one class for the "Information Technology Program." Currently, the department maintains six classes of "Information Technology" each year.
The Evening Division established the "Microcomputer Repair Program" in 1992 and added an "Information Technology Program" in 2000. However, due to the impacts of the declining birth rate, the "Microcomputer Repair Program" began reducing enrollment by one class per year starting in August 2009. In line with the Kaohsiung City Education Bureau’s policies, the Evening Division reopened the practical skills-based "Microcomputer Repair Program" in the 2011 school year. However, from the 2012 school year onward, the self-funded "Information Technology Program" was reduced by one class per year. Currently, the practical skills-based "Microcomputer Repair Program" is offered depending on annual enrollment.
