IT Student: My Advice to You Is....

The new school year is off to a great start with 120 high school students enrolled in Information Technology courses at the Marshall County Technical Center. Over half of these students (73) are taking their first computer course and many of them are even considering a career path within Information Technology as a possible career.

As successful and experienced individuals in IT, what advice (or motivation) would you give a high school student who wants to pursue a career in Information Technology?

I would like to share your insight with the students in my classes, so please be specific and honest as you share with us your advice through the comment link below.

Thank you!

Marshall County IT Advisory Committee

I appreciate your willingness to participate in the growth and development of our Information Technology program at the Marshall County Technical Center. I would like to invite each of you to be a part of our advisory committee. The purpose of an advisory committee is to support our program's activities by providing direction, feedback, information, resources, etc. to help steer and grow the IT program at Marshall County.

Our goal is to have two Advisory Committee meetings each year, one in the fall and one in the spring. Each meeting will be conducted online using this blog. I will post 2-3 questions, then notify you by email so you can respond by using the comment link found below each post.

Please begin by leaving a comment that includes the following information:

• Name
• Job title
• Company name or Employer
• Education/Training
• Certifications acquired
• Years of experience in Information Technology

I really appreciate your time and support!
