Today's IT plays a critical role in the work of all major industries. The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) reports that 92% of all IT workers are in non-IT companies, 80% of which are small companies. Even if the career you choose does not focus solely on IT, the job will likely involve the use of computers and technology to accomplish tasks and process information.
Information technology workers are expected to continually update their knowledge base and acquire new skills to remain qualified for available jobs. In preparing for these jobs, Technology First's Training Exchange program plays a central role in training new workers, in upgrading the skills of incumbent workers, and in preparing individuals transferring from other occupations.
Individuals interested in an information technology career should possess curiosity, have the ability to think logically, and have strong problem-solving skills. A working knowledge of mathematics and good communication skills are also important since troubleshooting, teamwork, and helping others are vital aspects of most of information technology jobs. Whether dealing with customers, managers, or other computer specialists, information technology professionals need the abilities to solve technical challenges as well as to communicate effectively on paper, in-person, and electronically.
Right now there are many high-skilled, interesting, and good-paying information technology job opportunities.
