Career Pathway - Business Management, Marketing, and Technology
We are living in a time when the key to success in virtually every profession depends on the skillful use of information. Whether one is a teacher, secretary, supervisor, or company president, the main ingredient in the work involved is information—knowing how to get it, how to use it, how to manage it, and how to disseminate it to others.
At the root of information-based work activities are computers and the systems that support them. Few professions remain untouched by computers today or will remain so in tomorrow’s world. No matter who you are or what you do for a living, it is likely that computers will somehow impact both the way you work and your success at your work. The following programs in the Office Information Technology area will provide you with information about computers, types of computer systems and their components, principles by which computer systems work, practical applications of computers and related technologies, and ways in which the world is being changed by computers. The goals of these programs are to provide the student with knowledge of computers and software and a framework for using this knowledge effectively in the workplace.
