Digital World - Inspiring young people to choose a career in technology.
Research shows that basic digital skills are needed for almost every job, from farming (using software to maintain livestock records) through to car mechanics. However, the level of skills and understanding required is increasing fast. The Digital World Website can help young people find the most up-to-date careers information on our rapidly changing world of work. There's a digital career for everyone. It doesn't matter whether you're already thinking about a career in digital technology, or whether you're still unsure about your options. It could also be games development or coding, cyber, healthcare or tourism.
Young people can find out what skills and qualifications they need for a variety of digital roles.
