NaSPA Education Foundation News

body

Since my article last month I ran across some interesting facts that I thought I&#39;d share with you. <ul><li>In September of 2001, 72.3 million persons used a computer at work. These workers accounted for 53.5% of the total employment. The numbers aren&#39;t in yet for April of 2007, but I&#39;ll bet that it was more than 72.3 million persons and more than 53.5% of the total employment.</li><li>In 2001 about 2 of every 5 employed persons connected to the Internet or used e-mail on the job. And I bet that this is also higher in 2007.</li><li>In 2004 20.7 million people worked at home or did some work at home as part of their job. This is a trend I bet we&#39;ll see an increase in, especially in the computer field.</li><li>In February 2005 there were 3.5 million job openings in the U.S., 2.5% of the workforce.</li><li>Some of the jobs expected to be facing the biggest decline in the timeframe 2004-2014 are:<ul><li>Sewing machine operators, 31.5%</li><li>File clerks, 36.3%</li><li>Computer operators, 37.1%</li><li>Meter readers, 44.9%</li><li>Textile winding operators, 56.2%</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Some of the jobs expected to see the largest growth during the timeframe 2004-2014 are:<ul><li>Post secondary teachers, 29.4%</li><li>Computer systems analysts, 31.4%</li><li>Computer software engineers - applications, 48.2%</li><li>Medical assistants, 52.1%</li></ul></li></ul> <p> So what might we conclude? We work in a pretty good field that provides us opportunity for growth. But it&#39;s not static; so you&#39;ll need to keep us with new trends, and that means more training while you work in the field. One of the ways we at NaSPA may be able to help you in your training endeavor is with the NaSPA Education Foundation General Scholarship. This year we plan to award more scholarships in the fall. We&#39;ll have more details about the scholarships in early summer, but basically they are to be used for IT education, or IT conferences, both which can help your career. I encourage you to apply. It&#39;s easy. </p> <p> Simply <span class="contextlinks contextlinks-link"><span class="contextlinks-text"><a href="/nefapplication" rel="CONTEXTLINKS_NEW_WINDOW">&quot;Click here to apply for a Scholoarship&quot;</a></span></span> There you&#39;ll fill out and submit an application. You will identify what scholarship you are applying for and can make your case. You&#39;ll be asked what scholarship you&#39;re requesting such as for technical training or a conference, to state your case and career goals, and some contact information.</p><p> Gary Jenovai</p><p>President, <span class="contextlinks contextlinks-link"><span class="contextlinks-text"><a href="/education" rel="CONTEXTLINKS_NEW_WINDOW">NaSPA Education Foundation</a></span></span> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><br class="clear" />
