Developing networking studies to match the requirements of the workplace

Abstract

Computer networks are one of the biggest investments that businesses can make, and managing them requires well-trained professionals. The purpose of this thesis project was to investigate the size of the role data network related education has on the working life of Bachelor of Business Administration graduates. The method used to gather data was a questionnaire which was distributed to the IT support staff at Laurea University of Applied Sciences. The outcome of the study was not conclusive due to the small number of replies to the questionnaire, but the thesis results provide a basis for further study into this subject.
