Since the Covid-19 pandemic struck, consumers behaviours have drastically changed especially in the hospitality and retail sectors. With digital transformation rapidly rising to the top of the agenda for every company that wants to thrive, the demand for tech skilled individuals within retail & hospitality has dramatically accelerated.

Many people working in non-tech roles have started exploring opportunities to upskill into tech due to the market demand, job security, top salaries and the multiple additional benefits tech skills provide. Infact 75% of our current trainees joined us from a retail or hospitality role looking to learn the tech skills needed to thrive in any industry!

Tech skills are the doorway to any sector; it’s creative, social, people focused and ever evolving. We explore how the knowledge you have already gained from working in the sector combined with tech training will accelerate your career progression and drastically increase the opportunities available to you. And what’s most important is that you don’t need to leave the industry you love, as companies are looking to utilize tech trained staff to support and drive their digital transformation!

That’s why we’re hosting a webinar for those working in the retail or hospitality sectors who have been impacted by the pandemic. An interactive session that aims to provide insight into;

• Upskilling
• Working in tech
• The current & future states of the tech jobs market
• The role tech plays in the future of retail/hospitality
• How you can learn to code and transition into a tech career

_nology is dedicated to changing the misconceptions of working in tech by providing the skills, space, support and inspiration for people of all backgrounds to retrain into a career path they'll love.
