Starting A Career Path In IT or ICT

What is IT or ICT? Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) is a broader term for Information Technology (IT), which refers to all communication technologies, including the internet, wireless networks, cell phones, computers, software, middleware, video-conferencing, social networking, and other media applications and services. The use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has been growing rapidly in the last decades. The ICT sector is versatile, and technology is changing fast, meaning that new jobs are created continuously. There are many different career opportunities for you when it comes to employment in the ICT sector. Most ICT workers work for IT companies, which are small private businesses or services subsidiaries of large corporations in many countries (for instance Microsoft in the USA, SAP in Germany or Novell in India). In addition, more and more employees work for local governments (decentralized administrations or ministries of infrastructure) and telecom operators (like BT or Telecom Italia). ICT jobs offer plenty of opportunities. You can become a specialist who develops or maintains software systems or solutions; you can become an engineer who designs hardware products or offers technical support to clients; an analyst who investigates technological trends; a teacher who gives lessons related to technology at high school; or you can simply hold an administrative position where you manage the everyday business operations of an IT department, or even just a small ICT services business.
