There has never been a better time to consider additional training on top of a degree to find that first stepping stone into the IT industry.
Numbers of job vacancies have been falling for the past year, and are now at an even lower level than they were following the dot-com crash in 2002, with under 200,000 new postings in November, compared to the highs of 2001 which saw just under 1.6million.
Despite these worrying statistics, there’s plenty of opportunity still out there, and it just underlines the importance of the right skills and experience when trying to get your first job.
Just IT offers you the skills companies recognise, as well as comprehensive soft-skill training and career support to help you find placements and eventually jobs once the course has finished.
