Government is a major employer across the spectrum of IT roles – all federal and state departments use computer and Internet technology. Government sector pay rates are quite competitive and the conditions equal or are superior to those offered by the corporate and financial sectors.
An 'in demand' IT credential in the government sector is the IT Infrastructure Library (ITIL) qualification. ITIL comes from the UK-based British Computer Society (BSC) Information Systems Examination Board and provides a methodological framework for understanding large-scale IT implementations, helpdesk management, issue escalation, change management and software rollout.
ITIL is a relatively short course, which if undertaken in conjunction with network administration or other IT management programs, forms a useful qualification for public sector IT.
