The technology sector is growing at an exceedingly rapid pace, which has caused some individuals to enter into information technology (IT) training programs as a means of getting a foot in the door of their industry.
Involta, which specializes in storing data and information, is planning to invest $20 million into the state of Ohio for a new data center, according to the Gov Monitor. The project will create approximately 50 new technology jobs for the Akron area.
"Involta”s decision to build their state of the art data center here means dozens of new, good paying technology jobs for the southside of Akron," Ohio governor Ted Strickland told the news provider. "The kind of jobs that pay a mortgage, support a family, which give people the chance to build a foundation for their lives."
On a national level, analysts believe that there will be a number of technology jobs arising in the coming years. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the sector is expected to increase by 17 percent in job opportunity through 2018.
