Students currently pursuing diplomas in network administration are entering a field that is rapidly evolving in the wake of several powerful technology trends.
Graduates must be ready to apply and adapt what they've learned in training, while continuously expanding their knowledge to accommodate new technologies that directly impact the way networks are configured, maintained, and protected.

Miguel Suarez began teaching Herzing's Graphic Design program in 2017. But his passion for art and design began much earlier, when he was a teenager growing up in the Philippines.
Nous vivons une époque exceptionnelle à tous points de vue. De la nouvelle organisation de la société en période de crise, jusqu’à l’introduction des nouvelles technologies dans nos gestes les plus simples du quotidien, tout a vraiment changé au cours de la dernière décennie, et a pris une vitesse encore plus importante au cours de l’année 2020.

Architects design structures for residential, commercial, and industrial use. Architectural drafters create the construction drawings needed to bring those new buildings to life.
But, sometimes drafters also consult with clients and develop design concepts. And sometimes architects do their own construction drawings.
So what is the big difference between an architect and an architectural drafter (also known as a CAD technician)?

Alex Wells has been working in college admissions for over 20 years. A Psychology major with decades of experience in student advising, Alex has deep expertise in helping people choose careers.
Very often, he meets with students who are interested in business training. His job is to figure out if business is the right choice, based on the individual’s career goals, natural talents, and overall personality.
Alex takes the time to really get to know each candidate. This process is key, because the student’s time, money, and future are riding on this decision.
Vous êtes douée pour la conception de plan ou de croquis sur ordinateur, la retouche d’image, ou avez de l’intérêt pour tout ce qui est croquis ou dessin sur ordinateur ?
Si votre talent est déjà avéré ou que vous ressentiez une véritable attirance pour le domaine du dessin sur ordinateur, une expérience professionnelle dans ce domaine pourrait être la continuation naturelle de vos projets.
Today's network technicians have a lot on their plates. From security issues and optimization, to Internet of Things (IoT) challenges, and new cloud technology.
Partout au Canada, et plus particulièrement au Québec, exercer certains métiers nécessite l’appartenance à l’ordre professionnel qui régit la profession ou obtenir des permis/licences de pratique spécifiques.
Ceci dit, ce ne sont pas tous les métiers qui rentrent dans cette définition et il est possible d’exercer moyennant une formation adéquate.
When Roberto Romano enrolled in the Computer-aided Design & Drafting program at Herzing College, he had no experience in the field whatsoever. He learned the software, project management, and drafting skills from scratch.
After graduation, he got hired as an architectural draftsperson and worked in the field for several years. Then, he noticed an opening back at Herzing for a CADD instructor. Roberto joined the faculty and has been teaching the program ever since.
This week, we interviewed Roberto about how the CADD program works. We asked which skills students learn in class, what projects they do, career options, and what it takes to be successful in the CADD industry.
Considering becoming a designer/drafter? Take a tour of the program with Roberto Romano: former graduate, expert instructor, and dedicated student mentor.
Q: Roberto, can you share a little about your background in drafting and design?
