Program Description
The purpose of this Cisco Specialist certificate is to teach students the skills needed to design, build, and maintain small to medium-size networks. This provides opportunity to enter the workforce and/or further their education and training in the computer networking field. High school graduation or GED is required for admission to this program.
Employment Opportunities
According to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) employers will create a demand in this country for roughly 1.6 million IT workers this year. With demand for appropriately skilled people far exceeding supply, half of these positions--843,328--will likely go unfilled. In a total U.S. IT workforce of 10 million, that shortfall means one job in every dozen will be vacant.
