Computing and IT

Your Career Guide

The IT sector is constantly changing with developments and advancements in technology. Some roles in this area can be highly technical - requiring knowledge of software management and coding - whilst other jobs require a high degree of soft skills, such as communication skills, problem-solving skills and an eye for detail when selling products, developing ideas and new ways of working. 

Whilst large IT companies are typical recruiters of computing and IT professionals, be sure to consider small and medium sized organisations as well.  Opportunities can also be found in the public sector, telecommunications, financial services, retail, manufacturing and games development companies.
