Computer Career Information
Computers are here to stay and if you want to stay competitive in the employment marketplace, you need to learn how to use computers to make your job more efficient.
Some individuals will want to pursue training in computer programming. A programmer is someone who writes code and develops algorithms for software applications.

Still others will be interested in the business side of computers – for example e-commerce. Some career titles include:
- PC Repair Technician
- Computer Network Technician
- Network Security Specialist
- Computer Programmer
- Software Engineer
- Chief Technology Officer
- Director of Engineering

Aside from the people who work directly with the creation, programming and maintenance of computers, there are those who simply need to use computers on a daily basis to accomplish their work. Everyone from a secretary to a graphic designer must use a computer and can benefit from a program that teaches the fundamentals of computer applications.
