FIVE REASONS TO

GET INVOLVED

HIGHLY REGARDED SKILL
SUPER IN DEMAND

Not only are qualifications in coding highly regarded, companies are actively looking to recruit more women to help close the gender gap across the industry.

GROWTH EACH YEAR
(AND SET TO CONTINUE)

Tech continues to grow each year, and this is predicted to continue over the next decade (and probably beyond!) Not only that, but it is growing everywhere.

INDUSTRY AGNOSTIC
AND CODING IS GLOBAL

The great thing about learning how to code is that you can work across multiple industries (and countries!) – finance to health to retail and more – so you’ll never get stuck in one place. 

JOB OPPORTUNITIES
LUCRATIVE CAREERS

With in-demand skills comes lucrative careers. You could start off as a developer and grow into a DevOps role or even move your way up to a CTO position. Plus, the pay is pretty good too!

HAPPIEST ROLES
JOB SATISIFICATION

Glassdoor checked, and according to their list, out of the top 25 happiest jobs,  at least ten tech-linked roles made the coveted positions. Salary, flex working, and job satisfaction were ⭐️

Dstl has set out a bold new vision as the government agency that provides the science inside UK defence and security.

We are looking for someone who has:

A passion for engineering and technology, and who is looking for more than just a job – a career.

You will work on a variety of interesting and challenging problems that owing to their sensitivity cannot be done elsewhere, and you will be driven by a desire to ensure that the United Kingdom’s armed forces have the best information and equipment possible.

In addition to your technical skills, you will develop an ability to think systematically, logically and creatively.

You will have a curiosity to understand how things work and why they perform as they do, and you will be able to communicate effectively at all levels with customers and stakeholders.
