Developing the next generation of digital experts is critical not only to the success of tech companies themselves but to the UK economy as a whole. With technology underpinning all kinds of business activities and the pace of technological change ever-increasing, the opportunities across the sector are vast and tech-savvy individuals will realise they offer some of the best career options around with quick progression to senior roles and higher-than-average salaries.
The digital and cyber sector is advancing at a higher rate than the broader economy, leading to a significant skills gap nationwide.
Roles requiring digital and cybersecurity skills cross sectors, from IT to manufacturing, health, construction and science, and more – sectors incorporating digital methods to drive efficiencies in their processes.
Lancashire and Cumbria are at the forefront of cybersecurity skills, with the arrival of the National Cyber Force in Samlesbury driving a demand for talent, as 2,000 jobs will be created by 2030.
Developing the next generation of digital experts is critical – and the IoT is ready.
