Technology Career Paths is a regional partnership of schools and colleges, economic development agencies, and industry, formed to raise awareness about high-tech career opportunities here in the Hudson Valley.
Technicians are graduates of two-year college engineering technology programs.
They produce, operate, test, sell, and service the products and systems of our technological society. Engineers are graduates of four-year college engineering programs and they conceive, design, and develop those products and systems. There was a time when technician training meant hand tools and hard labor. Today s high-tech worker uses math and science fundamentals to solve problems and programs machines to do the labor. The workplace has changed, too.
