# Why Tech? A Career in Technology

 Published by [Jenny Carmichael](https://blog.tech901.org/en-us/author/jenny-carmichael) on  8/3/17, 8:00 AM

 

In today's society, technology is the heartbeat of America. The days of pen to paper business operations are basically non-existent. With the growth of technology, the demand for employees with technological training is at an all-time high.   

[Tech901](http://tech901.org/why-tech/) offers certification classes to help you succeed in the ever-changing world of technology.  Corporations are looking for trained employees in areas of technology help desk, IT professionals and computer programming. 

**Technology Help Desk** 

Companies are in need of employees that are able to troubleshoot IT problems, whether it is for internal company support or customers calling for help with their equipment.   

Tech901 offers [IT Foundations](http://tech901.org/it-foundations/) which will equip the employee with the knowledge needed in the following areas: 

- Technical Support Specialist 
- IT Support Technician 
- IT Support Administrator 

 

**IT Networking** 

What is networking? To put simply, networking is combining two or more computers so that information is shared between them.  Although many companies require a bachelor's degree, computer certificates such as Cisco Certified Internetwork Expert (CCIE) and Cisco Certified Architect (CCA) may help you get a start. 

**Coding Experts** 

It is important to understand that all computers use code in order to function.  Coding tells the computer what to do based on actions of the user. Basically, coding is the brain action of the computer.   

Tech 901 offers [Code 1.0 Introduction to Computer Science](http://tech901.org/code-1-0/) which gives the student a complete understanding of how a computer works.  This course allows the student to "think" like a computer. A student will be able to engage with others and possibly write better programs based on corporate needs. 

Regardless of your computer knowledge, [Tech901](http://tech901.org/academy) is the right choice for you to start your technology career.  If you would like more information, leave a comment below.
