Networking involves working with telecommunications. More specifically, it researches how computers and communications work together to provide businesses with the information they need to operate successfully. It allows resources, such as printers, to be shared by many people at different locations and allows sharing of network drives from separate PC stations. Data such as e-mail and word processing documents can be quickly and easily shared. This allows businesses and governments to respond quickly to changing circumstances and to disseminate information efficiently.
Many opportunities exist for networking specialists in the workplace.
Some employers seek applicants with a combination of experience and academic degrees, as well as technical certification. Graduates in the program, without experience, may work as computer support specialists at a help desk or information center to gain on the job experience. Computer classes are very challenging and it depends on the skills and aptitudes that you bring with you into the classroom. It is important that you take prerequisites before enrolling in advanced computer classes. Many students who believe they have the background to enroll in higher level classes may find course material too difficult.
