IT Field Provides Some Stability for Workers Changing Careers
Allen, Peg
Techniques: Connecting Education and Careers (J1), v86 n2 p36-39 Feb 2011
When it comes to curriculum, certifying and training, no industry is more challenged to keep current than the information technology field (IT). IT industry professionals experience constant changes in computer software and hardware. As one of the top fields listed nationally, IT training programs are thriving at the Warren County Career Center (WCCC) in Southwest Ohio, particularly in the economic downturn with more and more displaced workers using federal funds to return to school and retrain for a new career. In this article, the author discusses how WCCC has revamped its IT program to address the needs of local business and industry, and help displaced workers forge new career paths.
