How difficult is it to enter the Information Technology (IT) career field?
The IT industry is like most others, in that it offers a range of positions that vary in requirements, duties, and compensation. To get started, some advanced positions will require a college degree while other entry-level positions require industry-recognized certifications. Starting a career in the IT industry at entry-level is very easy. Many people entering the industry are surprised at how quickly they can train, earn certification, and secure employment. Because IT touches almost all career areas in some fashion, many people gain exposure to and become interested in IT while on-the-job in a different career field. Short-term training is all that is necessary to gain marketable skills that lead to a new career path or enhance career opportunities in an established career. Many students have started a career in only 80 hours of training by taking MTTC’s “A+ Computer Repair” course.
