Information Technology (IT)

A fresh and constantly evolving industry, full to the brim with innovation that changes frequently in line with global technological development.

In the city of Lincoln, digital firms account for over 13% of jobs, compared to just under 5% nationwide – making it a great hub for work in this sector. The county is currently lacking the highly skilled workforce required within the IT industry meaning that opportunities in this field are less competitive than they would be if you decided to move to a big city to find a job.

As a graduate, there are loads of IT roles that you have the skills to go into ranging from web development and sales to computer forensics and cyber security. So, if you’re interested in being at the forefront of technological development, the IT industry might be for you.

Don’t be put off if you don’t have experience or a background in technology though, as many businesses in this industry require workers in a range of roles such as finance, human resources, and management.
