A current overview of the IT sector in the UK

With a stable growth of start-ups accountable for technical innovation and high levels of investment, the UK's IT sector is well-placed to take on a new cohort of skilled IT support workers.

What areas of IT can I work in?

There are many kinds of work that fall under the IT bracket. Some of these include:

• Applications establishment and development.
• Computer forensics.
• Subject matter management.
• Cyber security and risk organisation.
• Data investigation and analytics.
• Games development.
• Environmental information systems.
• Hardware engineering.
• Information administration.
• IT consultancy, for both business and technical.
• IT sales.
• Media software design.
• Software engineering such as designing, building, developing, and testing.
• Systems/network managing.
• Technical support.
• Telecommunications.
• Web strategy/development.

You could be making technical applications or systems, resolving problems using technology or being in a supportive role for people who use it, such as we do here in Sunderland. Within the IT business there are also occupations in commercial, marketing, human resources (HR) and finance.

More than 40% of IT or telecommunications specialists work outside of the IT industry as well, in areas such as retail, finance, engineering and the public sector.
