Technical Professional Career Requirements

What Skills Does an Information Technology Professional Need?
An IT Pro (information technology professional) provides technical support and advice to either individual computer users or corporations. They work with hardware, software, the Internet, and overall computer systems. Sometimes they solve problems over the phone or web, other times in person. A variety of jobs fall under the information technology umbrella, including:
  • Technical support specialists: install, modify, and repair hardware and software, run diagnostic programs, and resolve problems.
  • Network and computer systems administrators: design, install, and support a company's computer systems, including the local-area networks, wide-area networks, network segments, Internet, and intranet.
  • Systems administrators: maintain the network's efficiency and ensure all of the various components on the system (computers, network, software) work well together.
  • Computer security specialists: oversee the organization's IT security.
All of these jobs require analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

What Education Does an Information Technology Professional Need?
Some IT careers require a bachelor's degree, while others only need certification or an associate degree. Your bachelor's degree can be in computer science, information systems, or any other IT-related field.

Certification programs are usually offered by vendors and product makers. Some of the most useful ones include:
  • A+
  • Cisco
  • Microsoft
  • Oracle
  • Sun Microsystems
  • Unix/Linux
