2225: CompTIA - Switching Careers into IT or Grow Your Tech Career


Listen Later

The well-documented tech skills shortage also provides opportunities for people from any age or background to consider a tech career. In today's episode, I am joined by Graham Hunter from CompTIA to share his insights and actionable tips for anyone to start or grow their career in tech with an IT certification from CompTIA.

Graham reveals insights from CompTIA's recent report into the State of the Tech Workforce UK. I also learned more about the cyber security skills gap and a new initiative to help those who don't make it as professional footballers into careers in the sector and what needs to be done to address the UK's data skills gap.
