IT Opportunities for a Bank employee with Computer Science Background?

My friend has done his bachelor degree in Computer Science along with me. After that he did his Master degree in Business Administration and is currently working for a Bank as Operations Manager. Now he would like to come to IT industry. I am asking this question on behalf of him as he does not know about TechRepublic. What are the various career opportunities for him? What he has to do to land in an IT company (need not be for a programming job)?

Thanks in advance.
