TECH JOB MISCONCEPTIONS

Digital skills are for geniuses
You don’t have to be a tech genius to work in the sector. It doesn't matter if technology isn’t your thing - the sector needs more than developers and programmers. It needs people with skills from across the board, including those with creativity, critical thinking, and more, meaning that there is something for everyone. Whatever you’ve studied or trained for, there is a place for you to grow within the tech sector.
You need to go to Uni
It’s possible for anyone to get into tech – a university education is not a must have. There are a number of vocational and academic pathways, including initiatives such as T Levels, Apprenticeships, Graduate Schemes that companies may have for you to access jobs.
You're stuck at a desk
If your worst fears include being stuck behind a desk and fluorescent lights, your worries can stop here. The UK’s tech sector is fast outpacing the rest of the UK in terms of economic growth. With the number of job opportunities on the rise, the types of careers and working styles have never been higher. This could include hybrid working such as working from home to working on project sites. Being on the cutting edge of tech means that anything is possible.
A.I & Automation will take over
As new technologies emerge and parts of jobs are more likely to be automated, the nature of work will change. New industries and roles will be created so steps need to be taken to prepare the UK’s workforce to adapt to this change. While some people will be able to ride the wave of change without much support – by continuing to update their skills and knowledge – many will find this much more difficult and will need active support to re-skill. It’s true that automation will redefine key areas of work but that it will also create new areas of work. We don’t know exactly how automation is going to continue to shape the world of work, but by upskilling and retraining, we can remain ready for new opportunities within the tech sector and beyond.
