The Technology sector has, in many ways, driven the development of most modern sectors across markets. It was already one of the most rapidly developing and dynamic sectors before the pandemic but now the growth in interest for careers in this sector is exponential. There has never been a better time to consider a career in Technology.
When considering roles in the technology sector, it’s easy to limit your imagination to the developer, engineer, data scientist or any other role requiring a technical background. However, this would be a big oversight as you would be missing out on the non-technical roles which don’t require any coding or core IT skills yet make up 43% of the jobs in the sector.
These roles are just as important, stretching and lucrative as the more technical roles. Examples of some non-technical roles include content management, product managers, Sales, Corporate functions (HR/Finance/marketing) and UX design.
As with many of our other sector options, this internship could potentially be in an organisation whose overarching business is not technology. For example, it could be alongside a developer or IT support officer in a charity, bank or other organisation.
