Here are your tailored careers
Software Developer
The people who build websites and applications are called Software Developers. Software Developers write the code that powers the website that you see on your screen, the app on your phone, the buttons you click on, the images that appear for you, the text you are reading. In general, software developers are the people who write the code that makes a website or application function or do things. For example, developers write code so that when you click on the button you go to the next page, when you return to the site your password is saved, and that the apps you use can connect or “talk” to each other.
IT Support
IT stands for Information Technology. IT involves the use of desktop and laptop computers, servers and peripherals (printers, phones, iPads), internet connectivity, software and data. All organizations - companies, nonprofits, government agencies and even schools - rely on all sorts of information technology products and solutions to enable their business to perform its key functions and operations.
ETL Developer
Picture a massive spider web of data flowing between systems. People need the right information to make good decisions. Getting the data to the right place when it is needed involves a process to Extract, Transform and Load it aka ETL. ETL is at the heart of the company - ensuring that the data - the ‘blood’ and ‘oxygen’ - is flowing to parts that need it. The people who perform these jobs are ETL Developers or Integration Developers (because they integrate data between systems), and are typically part of a data or software development team. What do you need to know to join this team?
Cybersecurity
Cybersecurity specialists make sure that computer systems and networks are designed and operating in a way that they are safe from digital attacks. They are the people responsible for protecting our digital spaces. They defend against cyber criminals who attempt to destroy data, extort money from users, or disrupt normal business operations. Cybersecurity professionals protect governments and companies from having secrets stolen, being defrauded, held up for ransom and otherwise victimized. Working in cybersecurity requires being able to get inside a criminal’s mind to try to figure out how they think and operate.
