Wireless expertise is in high demand in the information technology job sector, according to Mark Stenberg, career training and management expert at Career Center, the largest computer training school in New York City.
Career Center, which specializes in IT training and certification, has experienced an increase in interest in its wireless technology offerings. According to Stenberg, interest has grown in classes for network security, wireless network management and wireless application programming.
The school offers courses addressing wireless network security, a major concern for enterprises employing wireless technology. In addition, Career Center provides Certified Wireless Network Professional (CWNP) certification, with which graduates can install, maintain, troubleshoot, manage and administer wireless and Wi-Fi networks. Classes on wireless programming are also offered, and classes on Java are the most highly demanded, according to Stenberg.
Students range from entry-level individuals searching for employment to advanced IT professionals upgrading their skills. Approximately 24,000 students per year take classes at the school. Instructors at Career Center are experienced and active in their fields, ensuring they bring the latest information to the classroom. “We do not teach theory here; we teach hands-on applications and courses,” said Stenberg.
Classes range from one-day workshops to two- to three-month courses and are offered during the day, at night and on weekends to cater to various lifestyles. The school offers career placement assistance, including direct job placement, an internship program, resume preparation services and job readiness courses.
