Network Technicians are Integral to the IT Industry

You can purchase the most expensive laptop that comes with all of the bells and whistles. But if you don’t have an internet connection, you’ll be very limited in what you can do with that laptop!

Network technicians are responsible for implementing, maintaining, troubleshooting and repairing computer and network systems. They also set up internet connections as well as establish different types of networks and connect them for clients.

Once you become a certified network technician, you become a valuable member of the IT field.

On any given day, network techs perform a wide range of tasks. If they work in an office setting, they will spend a good chunk of their time troubleshooting hardware and software issues and perform scheduled updates.

Another very important task they perform is to secure the network against cyber-attacks. This means doing things like installing antivirus software and ensuring it is updated regularly. They will also be responsible for educating employees and management on best practices.

Network technicians are invaluable to any business and it is easy to see why these professional s are always in high demand!

Why We Love Computers & IT

Information technology (IT) has changed the way human beings do just about everything. Can you even imagine a world without computers, smartphones or the Internet?

The Internet and computing are here to stay and we can expect new advancements in the near future. Just look at blockchain technology! It goes without saying that a career in the IT field will set you up for a solid salary and job security!

Just how fast is the IT Field growing? Well, we can tell you that employment of network and computer systems techs is projected to grow 5% over the coming years, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (http://bls.gov). 

To put it another way, we can expect to see roughly 25,000 job openings for these professionals nationwide each year. Many of those jobs will open because of people retiring out of the field as well as new tech advancements that will require more manpower to repair and maintain.

“The AI revolution is already here…Network Technicians are critical to that infrastructure!”
