Careers in IT
A critical shortage
Computers are everywhere—in offices, schools, factories, stores, and homes. Computer technology is found in diverse places such as cars, televisions, cameras, and cell phones. New uses for computer technology are found everyday, and each day computers become more important to our society. The explosive growth of computer technology has created a critical shortage of people trained in maintaining, repairing, building, and designing computers, databases, and websites. This shortage is expected to continue for many years.
