Expert: Tech Careers Expand Beyond Tech Companies

Adrienne McNally, senior director for career success and experiential education, was quoted in a Newsday story about college graduates seeking employment. While AI has impacted hiring for some entry-level tech positions, McNally suggests seeking out work in other industries. For example, while roles in software development may be less available, seeking out tech-related roles in healthcare, a growing industry, could allow graduates viable career options.

“You don’t have to work at a technology company to do tech work,” she said. “When a hospital is hiring, they are not only hiring clinicians like nurses and doctors. … They [also] need people who understand computer science and data.”
