Technology
The technology sector is booming with new and exciting opportunities. As the world
becomes more digital, opportunities within technology companies are growing at a rapid
rate - so much so that they are now some of the biggest employers in the world! Technology
companies are always on the look-out for those with passion, drive and the right skills to
complement their work environment.
The technology sector has opportunities for everyone - both in technical and non-technical roles. If your
interests lie in software development, using programming languages or artificial intelligence solutions, it
is possible to pick technical roles in some of the most high-profile brands in the world like Apple, Google,
and Facebook. While STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) degrees are desirable for such
roles, they are not always required, as there are now so many opportunities to develop the necessary
skills outside of the classroom.
