According to the U.S.
Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), there were 114,500 computer, automated teller
and office machine repairers employed in various industries in 2018
(www.bls.gov). The BLS expected job availability to decrease 1% between 2018

Any new computer

that will get them comfortable with the machines they will be working with.
General training for these professionals can be found through technical school
programs and associate's degree programs. Certification is available and useful
in convincing a potential employer that you have the necessary skills to
complete the work.
