National techies day

National Techies Day is celebrated on October 3 encourages students to consider a career in technology. National Techies Day was originally developed for the purpose of helping high school students become educated about careers in technology. With so many opportunities in the growing technology field, students seeking a career in technology will find promising choices anywhere they look.

With the awareness that the world of the future will see ever greater integrations of technology into our day-to-day lives, there is the knowledge that with those innovations will come the need for the truly technologically savvy. The world is in dire need of those men and women, boys and girls, who know their way around this technology-driven world and can help those who are perhaps less knowledgeable find their way.

So what, exactly, is a techie? 

A techie is an individual who is deeply interested in technology and seeing it move forward. When a new technical toy comes out, it is a guarantee that it was a techie who designed it, and other techies who will be the first to own it.

In modern days, Information Technology experts are specifically referred to as Techies, and unsurprisingly so as they’re the ones who keep various offices, businesses and individuals moving forward.

By 2030, the technology sector will continue to grow while other job sectors may decline. While the job’s future changes, one thing remains steady – technology.

Healthcare technologies will continue growing by nearly 48 percent. While research ramps up, surgeons and medicine take advanced technologies to a whole new level. With it, they need software specialists trained to maintain the equipment and train the medical personnel.

From AI in medicine to cutting-edge surgical tools, the need for skilled tech professionals is more critical than ever.
