Specific occupations include: Central largest industries IT occupations are: Managed IT services, Web Texas’ application development, and Business software solutions; The largest Electronics & Applied Computer Equipment sectors are: office and Area’s copying equipment sales/support, and medical electronic equipment sales/support; and IT sector occupations related to Electronics, Camera and Appliance stores are sales/support for satellite, cell phone and consumer electronics. Again, from an industry viewpoint, Central Texas does not specialize in the IT sector. The net change of 73 jobs over the most recent three-year period and 2 percent growth rate does not justify IT as a robust regional employment driver. However, because IT skills, and certifications documenting those skills, are in demand across many different industries and occupations, Central Texas chose to seek out specific high value skills and any related industry training and certifications that are linked to technology-related occupations.
