LearnSmart Releases IT Career Starter Pack

Tampa, Florida - December 02, 2009 - LearnSmart has launched the IT Career Starter Pack – a training bundle designed by industry experts to transform any student into a fully qualified IT Professional.

The IT Career Starter Pack provides all the training, certifications and direction a fledgling IT professional needs to begin in the tech industry. The package includes over 75 hours of LearnSmart Video training, study guides, practice exams, 30 day training plans and more. Also included is a free Dell laptop computer so students can stay up-to-date with current technology by using the latest hardware.

"As the economy begins to stabilize, the IT field is becoming more and more attractive. It’s a solid choice for people first joining the work force or for someone looking to switch into a more stable career" said Jay Gandee, LearnSmart President.

Compared with harder hit sectors of the economy, IT employment was left largely unaffected by the economic downturn as technology spending remained relatively stable. Fields that took significant hits, like manufacturing and finance, have lead an influx of new talent looking for a high-paying career in IT.

"Because of its popularity and high wages, the IT field is fiercely competitive. Certifications are the perfect way to give IT professionals an edge," said Gandee. "The IT Career Starter Pack was designed to help those who are just starting out in IT to get the entry level certifications and on-the-job skills they need to break into the field."

LearnSmart has identified the key skills that IT employers are looking for in today’s economy: router and switch networks; basic network infrastructure and hardware and software. The IT Career Starter Pack includes everything needed to enter the technology sector and to crack the tough certification exams.
