American Sentinel University has launched a new program geared toward service members interested in pursuing Information Technology (IT) careers.

Aurora, CO (PRWEB) August 31, 2009 -- American Sentinel University, an accredited online school that provides advanced degree programs for professionals, has launched a new program geared toward service members interested in pursuing Information Technology (IT) careers. Spearheaded by the university's military program manager Lt. Col. Paul Capicik (USAF Ret), the new program will provide service members with Paul's perspectives on:

o Why Information Technology is an exceptional field for service members
o The diverse paths and specializations within the IT arena
o Things to expect as an Information Technology professional
o Career potential information
o Supplemental material related to Information Technology courses
o Topic requests from IT group participants
Prior to joining American Sentinel University, Paul spent over 26 years in the U.S. Air Force and another 12 years directing a wide variety of IT-related projects as the CIO of a private sector company. His inspiration for developing this series of articles comes from his own positive experiences as an Information Technology expert.

"As a service member who developed a rewarding career in the Information Technology arena after leaving the military, I feel compelled to share my perspective on opportunities in this exciting field with other service members who are currently building IT-related skills in the service or plan to do so post transition."

While the primary objective for the article series is to share his IT-related experiences with other service members interested in pursuing this career path, he will also discuss the many benefits of an American Sentinel University education for the pursuit of professional educational goals. Individuals are encouraged to visit the University blog to read the new article series and to learn more about American Sentinel's Information Technology program and career-building tools.
