Telehealth Specialist
Over 50% of people who live in rural parts of the world cannot access
basic healthcare. Many lack the money or resources to travel to health
facilities – which may be hundreds of miles away. Imagine if you could
change that with technology. Telehealth specialists do, every day.
Telehealth uses networked medical devices, video conferencing, and other
Internet-based technologies to let doctors see and speak to patients as
if they are face-to-face, no matter how many miles separate them.
Telehealth specialists use their skills in VoIP, computer networking,
video streaming, and more to increase access to healthcare for patients
and improve their quality of life. Become a network engineer with CCNA

Disaster Response Network Engineer
When disasters strike, communications systems are often the first to
fail. Imagine being unable to use smartphones, email, or social media
during a crisis. Without it, responders can’t save lives or deliver food
and water where it’s needed. Survivors can’t get medical care or find
their loved ones. But network engineers with special training and the
right equipment can provide voice, video, data, and radio communications
via satellite when communities are devastated by disasters. These
professionals often deploy to the front lines of a disaster, working
directly with government and humanitarian agencies to ensure public
safety and provide humanitarian assistance. Explore Mobility

Smart Grid Cybersecurity Specialist
Technology is modernizing our electrical grid. We use
Internet-enabled thermostats to control and monitor energy consumption.
Cities use motion-detecting sensors and software to control when streets
lights go on and off. These technologies can reduce energy costs, light
pollution, and greenhouse gas emissions. But the increased connections
expose electric systems and our homes to cyber attacks. People skilled
in network security protect communities and families from those risks so
they can enjoy the benefits of a modern electrical system. Prepare for
CCNA Security certification.
