Consider a Career
in Electronics

  _The opportunities and the demand for people with electronics education is at an all time peak. In the Northeast area there is a demand for technicians that, according to employers, surpasses the supply of graduates. Frank Sisto, Chair, Electronics Technology, attended the March meeting of the Northeast Semiconductor Workforce Development Council (NSWDC) where he learned that the semiconductor manufacturing industry, (which comprises only about 10% of the total electronics industry), reports that they will need 800 new technicians by the end of 2000, just in the New England area. New England Tech can satisfy some of this demand, but industry still needs more than are being graduated.
     Graduating students have enjoyed the employment market. Companies like EMC, Intel, IBM and many others are aggressively recruiting NEIT grads. One corporation, EMC, has taken the lead in guaranteeing that they have enough skilled people for the future by sponsoring an associate degree program on-campus and offering an associate degree program as well as a bachelor degree program at their site in Franklin, MA.
      If you are interested in how electronic things work, troubleshooting, math, and computer applications, this could be the career for you. No matter where you may be in your career, it is never too late to improve yourself. The key is to start and follow through.
