Thomas Reddall High School Careers Information No 7 2018
EMPLOYMENT
"Jobs of the Future", "Best Paying Jobs", "Jobs in Most Demand" – INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND COMPUTING.
The most in demand job, anywhere, currently, is Cybersecurity (protecting data from hackers, viruses, ransomware and many other cybercrimes that threaten our interconnected world).
Cybersecurity is the body of technologies, processes and practices designed to protect networks, computers, programs and data from attack, damage or unauthorised access. In a computing context, security includes both cybersecurity and physical security.
The second most in demand job right now is Data Analysis, where you will be translating numbers into plain English.
Every business collects data (e.g. sales figures and market research, logistics, and transportation costs). Data Analysts take that data and use it to help companies make better business decisions.
Information Technology encompasses many jobs in the Computer Sciences e.g. mobile devices, gaming, digital marketing, hardware and software, coding, design, service support, website development and sales.
The choice is vast and all these careers are in demand, which make them highly paid jobs – and jobs that are transferable across industries.
Information Technology and Computing are gender neutral (although it is currently male dominated – THAT IS CHANGING!)
There are jobs at every level of expertise. You can enter with a Certificate, Diploma or Degree. http://www.mycareermatch.com.au https://www.itcareerfinder.com
