Some of the careers you can choose are discussed below:

Mobile App Developer

In the US, over 85 percent of adults own a smartphone. Every business, organization and governmental entity needs to develop a variety of apps so that people have easy access to the products and services they need from their phones. At CCNN you will learn the basic programming skills you need to begin developing mobile applications and serving this fast-growing market.

Computer Systems Engineer

Every person needs a computer with perfect networking and in good condition. As a computer systems engineer, your job is to ensure your clients get exactly that. The work entails repairing, designing, installing and maintaining computer systems. In addition to recommending computer changes as needed, you will also evaluate the benefits and costs of the systems.

Cloud Engineer

“The Cloud” refers to the ability to run applications and databases using remote computing power instead of locally stored computing power. While this approach does offer additional concerns like cybersecurity, possible lag and a lack of control over uptime, there are significant benefits as well.

Companies who use the cloud avoid much of the cost of investing in expensive computers and servers and avoid having their functions and information impacted by natural disasters, power outages or physical vandalism. The Cloud Engineer ensures that the cloud infrastructure is configured securely and properly.

Software Quality Assurance (QA tester)

QA testers are responsible for ensuring software is well-developed and tested before releasing it to the market. Another role is to oversee the stages of any development. Software released should meet the needs and standards set by the development company.

Meeting deadlines while sticking to the budget is also a crucial role of a QA tester.

IT Security Analyst

The Cybersecurity industry is always looking for hackers. Not the underground hackers that destroy, but ethical hackers. What you will work on is called “Exceptional Testing”. The more your tests (hacks) fail, the higher the security of the system. Aim at getting better tests.

Other categories of work you can do are:

  • Computer Science Teacher- Teach IT
  • Business Intelligence Analyst- For data mining and data storage structures
  • Computer Support Specialist- Help employees in company IT departments
  • Data Manager- Organize and analyze storage spaces
