Hanover Research | December 2017 <br /> © 2017 Hanover Research 8 <br />For other health occupations (e.g., nurses and medical lab workers), UNC Health Care usually <br />hires workers with bachelor’s -level training. There is likely only li mited demand for nurse aide <br />training (which is currently available). Surrounding counties may have greater demand than <br />Orange County for nurses without a bachelor’s degree. <br /> <br />INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY <br />The need for information technology workers is not <br />tied to a single employe r or organization; interview <br />participants told Hanover that Orange County <br />needs more workers trained in a variety of IT fields. <br />Durham Tech is already equipped to offer programs <br />in software development,15 web development,16 <br />office administration ,17 and IT and cloud systems <br />administration.18 However, Durham Tech currently <br />(as of Fall 2017) offers few IT courses at its Orange <br />County campus. <br /> <br />Steve Brantley, a Director at Orange County <br />Economic Development, suggested that there are <br />“more jobs than people skilled to fill them,” <br />particularly in “coding” and “writing software.” <br />Similarly, Dwight Basset, an Economic Development Officer for the Town of Chapel Hill, thinks <br />employers seek trained IT workers, particularly for “coding” roles. Training in these areas is <br />in “high demand” and may be among the “most critical” needs for the region moving forward. <br />Durham Tech could expand its existing software development program to Orange County to <br />meet this demand. <br /> <br />Other participants observed that local employers need IT workers with web design and <br />development skills. Bassett mentioned that employers are looking for workers with expertise <br />in “data management.” Sonia Frischemeier of Boomerang Youth mentioned a range of in - <br />demand areas, such as “graphic design” and “maintaining and developing websites” as well <br />as social media administration. Durham Tech could expand its existing web development and <br />cloud systems programs to Orange County to meet this need. <br /> <br /> <br />15 “Software Development.” Durham Tech. https://www.durhamtech.edu/it/softwaredevelopment.htm <br />16 “Web Development.” Durham Tech. https://www.durhamtech.edu/it/webdevelopment.htm <br />17 “Office Administration.” Durham Tech. https://www.durhamtech.edu/it/officeadmin.htm <br />18 “IT and Cloud Systems Administration.” Durham Tech. https://www.durhamtech.edu/it/itcloudadmin.htm <br /> <br /> <br />Orange County needs more <br />workers with knowledge of <br />software development, web design <br />and development, and coding. <br />Durham Tech can fill this nee d by <br />expanding several existing IT <br />programs to Orange County. <br />Information <br />Technology in <br />Orange County
