Your new career in Business Analysis starts here.

I started the Traineeship because I needed a change from my last career and cyber security really started to stand out to me when I was looking for what careers I could pursue. However, I didn’t know where to begin or how to have the most success when applying for roles which was made more difficult from being on the autistic spectrum. That’s when I came across IT Career Switch where I could work at my own pace within reason, gain the necessary qualifications to be able to obtain the role, as well as receiving the support I needed to have success in my job search.

I started my Traineeship because I didn’t feel like I could progress any further in my previous career, and even if I did, it felt as though I didn’t have any transferable skills.

“

I started the Traineeship because even though I had previous programming experience, I needed a bit more foundation in full-stack programming. I also did a computer games development undergraduate degree before this, but with this I mainly learnt C# and C++, so this course helped me to learn more about full-stack programming languages, like HTML, CSS, Java, Python, SQL, etc.

I saw an advert about changing careers, and it aligned perfectly with what I was looking for. I had always been keen to move into IT, but I wanted a structured and recognised pathway to do it properly. When I came across IT Career Switch, it felt like the right opportunity to gain solid technical foundations and industry-recognised certifications, and I appreciated the support to find at position at the end of the traineeship.

I have always been a technical person, building PCs and keeping up with the latest tech. I realised I could combine problem-solving with my love for computers, which directly led me into coding! I just needed to find the right avenue to do so, which was IT Career Switch.

“

I started the Cyber Security Traineeship with IT Career Switch because I had a passion for cyber security as it protects systems from unauthorised action, similar to my physical security job as a security guard/dog handler. With this mentality rooted, I thought it would be a great opportunity to improve my technical skillset in the digital world.

I started the Traineeship because I wanted a career change; to move out of precarious teaching positions at universities into a career that felt more stable and gave me room to grow.

“

I started the Traineeship because I wanted to start a career and stop moving between entry-level jobs. I have always been interested in IT in my personal life, so it seemed like the best option for me. I also wanted to improve my skills in the IT field, leading to further roles in the future.

“

I started the Traineeship because I wanted a long-term career with real progression and the opportunity to make a positive impact on people’s safety at work. I came from a motor trade background and had already progressed quickly to the higher end of the career path by the age of 21. That made me realise I wanted to move into a field where I could continue developing without hitting a ceiling. Health and Safety stood out to me because I had already been exposed to many of the risks through working as a mechanic, particularly when handling chemicals and hazardous substances. It felt like a natural transition into a role where I could use that experience while also helping improve workplace safety and protect people.

“

I started the Traineeship after being made redundant from my job. I really wanted to get into the IT sector, but didn’t know where to start. I came across IT Career Switch online and made the decision to go for it as I knew it would help me get a job in IT.

“

I started the Traineeship because national security is something that interests me, and I believe digital security is a huge part of this in the modern world, so I decided that I wanted to upskill myself and look at a total career change from what I had done previously.

“

I started this Traineeship because I didn’t enjoy my job in teaching secondary maths and really needed a career change, because working in a shop was only transitional and not fully inspiring me for the long term.
