Program Description
Program Advantages
Businesses large and small need network technicians to build, maintain, and upgrade their network environments, as infrastructure needs change, as technology changes, and as security needs change. While much of the work can be done virtually, much of the work of cabling, wiring, connecting, and building server racks will require hands-on, in-person technicians.
Professional Outlook
Employment and continuing education rate of 100 percent – 100 percent are employed.
61 percent of our interns get hired full-time at the place of their internship upon graduation. Fully 98 percent of Alfred State’s graduates enter the workforce or go on to further their education.
