Workshop Details
This will be a hybrid workshop which will be held in a virtual and face-to-face format. We will meet at Chappy’s Deli, 1611 Perry Hill Road Montgomery, AL 36106 on Saturday, February 4, 2023, at 1pm CST. Students will learn from the testimonies and career paths of IT industry leaders such as tech recruiters, startup owners, Network Engineers, Linux Administrators, Cyber Engineers, Cloud Engineers.
Students will continue learning how to identify problems, isolate problems, and provide solutions. Working in IT can mean a variety of different things. You can work in computer support, cybersecurity, data, cloud computing, and software development. Many people may wonder if programmers only use languages like HTML, JavaScript and CSS to build websites. Video game software can be updated to improve online gameplay, which is an opportunity for programmers to troubleshoot problems experienced by gamers after the game is released to the general public.
Have you ever thought about becoming a Systems Analyst? A systems analyst reviews design components and uses their knowledge of information technology to solve business problems. They identify ways that infrastructure needs to change to streamline business and IT operations. They can also assist technicians in training staff to implement the changes they propose.
What does a network engineer do?’ was once a simple question with a simple answer. Network engineers were techs who configured routers, switches, and firewalls to give employees bandwidth and server access and keep on-site data safe. Today, network engineers are highly trained specialists with programming experience, cybersecurity expertise, and a host of other technical networking skills. On top of it all, they have to be Jacks-of-all-trades. Many companies now rely on a mishmash of physical computing infrastructure and software-defined and virtual networks or are in the process of transitioning to cloud networks. Muddying matters further is the confusing array of titles in network engineering. The relationship between role and responsibility is still evolving in the field, and employers may use job titles like network administrator, network engineer, and network architect interchangeably.
Network Engineers wear many hats; they’re not just techs. Learn how you can become one! They’re programmers, systems designers, data miners, and automation experts. They’re also managers, directors, and executives because networking in a world where businesses have tens of thousands of connected devices requires strong leadership.
