Why choose the Cisco Networking Academy Program at Macomb?
According to a May 2002 ITAA report, there will be a demand for more than 1.1 million new IT jobs in the next year with almost 600,000 jobs going unfilled due to a lack of qualified workers. The report also found that the five hottest, most in demand jobs now and in the future are technical support, network design and administration, programming and software engineering, web development, and database development and administration. Moreover, a recent study conducted by Fairfield Research, Inc. and Certification Magazine on the correlation between industry certifications and earning power shows that, "the more certifications the IT professional has, the more he or she tends to get paid." (Certification Magazine, CertMag's Salary Survey, by Gary Gabelhouse, December, 2002.)
