Which businesses are looking for people with technology training and skills? Just about all of them! More specialists are needed to make sure workplace technologies can keep up with the people who use them, keeping them in high demand.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says technology demands in these specific fields are expected to grow most rapidly:

• Healthcare
• Mobile Devices
• Data Processing and Hosting
• Computer Systems Design
• Web Design & Administration
• Information Security
• Consulting

More than one million persons will be needed to administer computer networks, systems, and databases over the next decade!

Anthem helps students prepare for entry-level jobs in these areas:

• Computer Networking and Security (CNS) impacts virtually every business in the US today. As networks grow and become more complex, companies will need more skilled technologists to ensure their networks work properly, from within a local area network (LAN) or Wi-Fi to desktops and laptops used by employees. Security will become more important as well. Networks need protection from viruses, email from spam, and encryption packages must be safe to electronically transport important documents.

• Electronics Technology is a key part of growing industries that includes telecommunications, biotechnology, and automation. People who work in this field are problem-solvers. They figure out how to make a product design work properly, whether it’s consumer products such as video games, or mechanical equipment used in manufacturing. They build or set up the equipment, test it, and maintain it to make sure it gets the job done.

• Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD) technology develops drawings and designs used by engineers and architects. Drafters fill in technical details from engineers, surveyors, architects, and scientists. CAD specialists use technical books, tables, calculators, and computers to complete their drawings.  Many specialize in fields such as communications and aerospace engineering.

• Graphic Design and Animation is used in the print and electronic/Internet media. Designers plan, analyze, and create visual solutions for communications challenges. More and more, graphic designers are called on to identify the needs of clients and co-workers as they develop layout and design. Animation has become an important skill for top-notch graphic designers, along with Web design.
