The transition from a military career to civilian life can be a challenge and choosing the right training can aide in successful career. One great option is training in Information Technology (IT).

Simply defined IT is the study or use of systems (especially computers and telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, and sending information. We need information technology in today's world to establish faster communication, maintain electronic storage and provide protection to records. In a simple way, IT makes a system of electronic storage to provide protection to a company's records.   (https://www.g2.com/articles/what-is-information-technology).
