Careers in ICT and Computing
There is a huge variety of a jobs available for people with computing skills. These jobs can be highly specialised or can be used alongside a business training to help keep an organisation running efficiently.
At the moment, not all countries are online. It is clear there will be a huge demand for people working in e-commerce and internet security in the future.
Computing students have to have certain skills and qualities.
- They have to be able to communicate with others, as they will be talking to clients about the needs of their new system.
- All computing and ICT work is collaborative, so students have to be able to work well in a team. This will involve being on
time and attending all lessons, so that other students can work at the pace they require and they don't have to repeat
instructions to the latecomers.
- Programming requires a good level of Maths. Students who plan to program should be comfortable with Maths and enjoy
working with numbers.
- They have to be creative. Some jobs will involve artistic skills, but all will involve the student being able to think "What if...?"
questions and look at a task from a client's point of view.
- They have to be extremely careful with their work and particularly good at proofreading. A mistake in programming or writing
formulas will mean the wrong result.
