What specifically do you want to do in IT?
It's very broad.
For example:
I work in IT, but I'm an MBA with a career in business process improvement etc. That has led me to ERP system implementations and other system technologies as they pertain to business improvement.
Actual IT support is totally different, but we are in the same group.
It's very broad.

I will echo the above...
What type of IT work do you want to do?
Networking, Programming, Support...Those are all VERY different disciplines. Sort of like saying you want to be a doctor. What type of doctor?
I would suggest you talk to some people and decide what TYPE of work you are interested in...then look into some training for that field.
I myself am more of a developer/programmer, but I do a lot of network setup, server setup, development. It's not ideal because everything is constantly updating/changing so I can't really focus on one area...but it works for me.

This....what do you do now? Can you transition some of that into a IT field? Would you want to?
I was a code monkey in MS programming technologies for several years before I got into my current career which is implementing, supporting, administering, customizing, etc HRIS systems. It gives me the ability to do some of the coding that I love (although not with MS tools) yet it also affords me the upward trajectory in career advancement and salary that I was looking for in my career.
I didn't hate coding by a long stretch, but I didn't like it as much as what I do now. I get to dive into and solve very different problems in a multitude of ways using a multitude of technologies almost on a daily basis.
I'm also getting into RPA now since it is pretty much all the buzz. That is another option look at your current job and figure out what all the mundane stuff is and get into RPA and see if you can figure out how to to build synthetic workers to automatically process the mundane tasks to save time and money.
