The good news is there is a wide array of various IT jobs and internships available today. What people should know is that the skills needed for these opportunities can vary from company to company. Job and intern seekers need to stay abreast of skills requirements in order to stay competitive and marketable in the IT workforce.
To support awareness of varying skill requirements I have completed research to allow students the opportunity to prepare for the competitive job market. The companies included in this study all have different visions and goals for their business. Each company has different skill set requirements to stay competitive in a global environment.
This study provides the knowledge needed when researching various internship opportunities.

2010 Technology Job Outlook - Readers Poll Now Open
By 2010, it is expected the U.S. will face a shortage of 10,033,000 workers. It’s hard to believe, but data from the U.S. Department of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics that tracks expected job openings vs. working population indicates this is the case.
Don’t believe the hype! Like most industries, information technology has had significant job losses.
It’s your opinion that matters. Please take this short 3-minute survey. Survey results will be published on Blacks Gone Geek website on 1/17/2010.

Happy Holidays!
We get so busy and we try to do so much that sometimes we forget the finer things in life. My prayer is that you and your families will enjoy a wonderful holiday together.
It’s been a great year coming together in the volunteer spirit to promote African Americans in IT and I’m looking forward to 2010 as we expand and grow beyond our wildest dreams!
Warmest thoughts and best wishes for a wonderful holiday!
