Summary

Tech skills can give your career a boost, regardless of your background or interests.

In today’s world, technology is a part of daily life. This fact gives more people than ever before a solid grounding in the basics of tech – what an application does, for example – even if they have no formal background in the sector. You don’t need a computer science degree to pursue a tech career.

Moreover, whatever your background and interests, you can find a way to link your passions with a successful tech career. Nearly every modern industry – from fashion to hospitality to health care, and beyond – needs people with tech skills. If you have expertise and experience in a given field, and then get technical training to augment those skills, you can return to that industry in a better position to add value to any organization.

Ask questions and make friends in your organization’s IT department.
