Technology (IT) and Health Information Management (HIM) careers will take
center stage at an upcoming Network Event at Middlesex Community College. Professionals from Microsoft, CT HIMA, Left
Brain Games, Apex Technology Group, Verizon Wireless, The Computer Company,
Community Health Center, Inc, Travelers Insurance Company, and many others will
be on-hand to talk to students and community members about career
opportunities, job search skills, and MxCC’s HIM and IT degree and certificate
programs. The Network Event will be held
Monday, November 16 from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. in the pavilion and student lounge in
Founders Hall on the MxCC campus at 100 Training Hill Road in Middletown. Free parking and handicapped access are
available.
Joshua Drew, senior technical evangelist, Microsoft Corporation, and Liz Taylor, past president of the CT Health Information Management Association, will speak during the event, sharing practical career advice and demonstrating innovative technology.
This is the second year that MxCC’s Computer Club joined with the Health and Life Science Career Initiatives (HL-SCI) team to present this combined career event. Since the IT and HIM career fields are so closely aligned, it has proven to be a successful partnership for students and companies alike.
“It is so wonderful to see so many local IT and HIM professionals support our students, who are future members of the technology industry,” said Donna Hylton, Computer Club advisor and MxCC professor and Program Coordinator of HIM, Computer Information Technology, and Management Information Systems. “This is one of the most important events that connects students with employers, providing a casual venue to network, make introductions, and better explore ways to launch a successful IT career.”
