November 4, 2015 in College Alternatives, IT Career Program / by Centriq Training

Computer Jobs for GI’s

Did you spend your time in the military working with computers, networks, cyber security, and communication/radio systems? If this sounds like you, you should know that these skills are highly valued in the civilian career market. There are plenty of jobs you can go into straight from your military service, but careers in IT might take a little more training time.

A New Career without the Investment

If you’re not looking to invest years in going to school, or going back to school, you can explore the many training programs that offer accelerated training in IT and IT related fields. Combining the skills you’ve acquired in the military with the training programs offered by companies like Centriq, you can be job market ready in as little as four months.

Some typical computer jobs are:

    • Data Entry: input hard and electronic data into a database
    • Database Manager: create, maintain, and test data that lives within databases, be proficient with programs such as Access, and SQL.
    • Web Designer: coding and designing websites from the ground up. Utilize HTML, JavaScript, and more.
    • System or Network Admin: Knowledge of network setups and protocols. Various certificates required.
    • Developer/Programmer: maintain and develop programming and software.

Why should I upgrade to Windows 10?

(Written by Bob Reinch/Centriq Training)

Here’s a hypothetical: You have two cars. One is an older, reliable vehicle, but it needs a little service, probably could use new brakes and new tires. You also have a brand new, shiny set of wheels sitting in the driveway, just begging to be taken out for a spin. You could keep throwing money into the older car while the new one just sits. The old one can get you from point a to point b just fine, but it still needs some maintenance, and in the end you know you are going to be driving the new car anyway.Read More
