\u201cMost people think they need to be a math or technology wizard to work in IT, but this isn\u2019t the case,\u201d said Dan Neville, director of the Ä¢¹½´«Ã½ Technology Institute. \u201cBasic entry level skills needed include a willingness to learn and a customer service orientation. Adults who are looking to change careers and find out if a career in IT is right for them are encouraged to apply for the free course.\u201d<\/p>\n

The instructor-led, online course starts May 18 or July 13 and runs Mondays through Thursdays from 10 a.m. \u2013 12 noon each day for four weeks. The course uses CompTIA\u2019s IT Fundamentals curriculum and includes an opportunity to earn an industry-recognized certification upon completion. All course materials and certification fees are included.<\/p>\n

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics data, more than 545,000 new IT jobs will be added over the next seven years with a median annual salary of $86,320.<\/p>\n
