Are you a technology buff in need of a new career?
Do you like to tinker with the latest and greatest in technology gadgetry?
Are you looking to enter a promising field that has longevity and pays well?
You might consider earning a home technology integration plus (HTI+) worforce skills award.
No doubt you've heard of "smart homes" where home security, audio/video, computer networks, electrical and structured wiring, heating and air conditioning, cable/satellite, broadband - and just about anything else you can think of - are all neatly linked together and controlled by just one panel.
More and more new home builders as well as retro-fitters moving to incorporate this technology into homes are in need of qualified technicians and the Lone Star College-Montgomery HTI+ workforce skills award program trains individuals for certification offered through the Computing Technology Industry Association (CompTIA).
After completing the program's four courses - which include Fundamentals of Network Technologies; HTI+; Residential Cabling and Professionalism in the Workforce - students take the CompTIA Home Technology Integration (HTI+) certification exam, which is a cross-industry, vendor-neutral credential providing recognition that a technical professional has attained a standard of excellence in the home networks industry.
The technician with a CompTIA HTI+ certification will be able to claim a distinct level of competence and differentiate themselves from the pack.
