Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.

Today, the term information technology has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term is more recognizable than ever before.

There is no universally accepted way to prepare for a job as an information technology (IT) professional. Although a bachelor's degree is often required, and relevant work experience is very important, many people develop their computer skills while working in other fields. Technical or professional certification is becoming a common way to measure competency in prospective employees.

Entry-level employees and students can enhance their employment opportunities by participating in programs (such as internships) or having a related background in an industry that uses information technology (such as financial services, banking, or accounting). The continual study of new technologies is necessary to keep computer skills current.
