Careers

e-skills UK does not offer one-to-one careers advice but we have developed a Careers website which provides a useful point-of-reference for information and sources of information on career opportunities and on the skills required for a career in IT and Telecoms.

The site can show you practical ways of gaining skills for work and continuing learning and career development throughout life.

In addition, in November 08,
e-skills UK launched a campaign that gives teenagers an insider view of technology careers. BigAmbition is designed to inspire 14-19 year olds by demonstrating the wide range of IT career options, and how to get into them. The campaign is fronted by a website featuring interactive tools including a "dream job finder" and a "did you know?" quiz. Video profiles of IT professionals are featured, to illustrate the diversity of the sector and show how rewarding a career in IT can be.
