Learning People

Did you know today is Web Designer Day?

A chance to celebrate the people who make the internet a functional and aesthetically pleasing place to be.

We wanted to share some stats and stories for those considering a career in web development. Our students who have made the change love the new careers they are in, and you could be next!

The end of another great month here at Learning People...

65 students passed exams this week across the UK, Australia and New Zealand. Congratulations to every single one of you!

It's been another bumper week for placements, with students and alumni landing jobs at some amazing businesses and organisations - including Education Trust, Pineapple Furniture, Schools Go Surfing, Danbro and Retail Safari for Microsoft.

Massive profits are causing growth beyond its reach in the cybersecurity sector.

Cybersecurity has now moved from a specialist subject to a business-critical infrastructure desperately seeking trained professionals.

Jamil finished his graphic design degree and looked at the job market honestly. Oversaturated. Competitive. Not the future he'd planned for.

So he picked up the phone and had a conversation with our team about what else was possible. No IT experience. No obvious route in.

The Royal Household doesn't hire anyone. Jamil got there because he was genuinely prepared.

If your current path isn't the one you want, that first conversation costs nothing.

Want to follow in Jamil's footsteps? Drop us a comment or a DM.

The sun is out, and we are here with more great news to brighten your day! ☀️

As always, kicking things off with a huge well done to the 71 students who passed exams this week. Fantastic work, keep that momentum going.

Congratulations to the students who placed in new and exciting roles this week in companies, including DHL, Müller UK & Ireland and Ryujin Electronics. We wish you all the best in your new ventures and can’t wait to see what the future holds for you.

A little shoutout to Robyn and Charli from the marketing department, who recently celebrated their 1-year Learning People work anniversary.

For a little Friday reading, we wanted to direct you to our job market insight pages for all the salary trends and stats you could need if you’re looking to get into tech or project management - link in comments.

Just a note to say our UK office will be closed on Monday 25th, for the bank holiday, but we'll be back open at 9 am on Tuesday.

78 million. Let that land for a second.

That's how many data job opportunities are projected globally by 2030, across every sector, not just technology.

The reason that number is so significant isn't just the size of it. It's what it tells us about where the jobs market is heading.

Data literacy is becoming a baseline expectation in the same way digital literacy was 15 years ago. The people who get ahead of that shift now, who build the skills before the demand peaks, are the ones who'll have the most options.

The good news is that getting started in data doesn't require a computer science degree or years of technical experience. It requires the right qualifications and the right support to get there.

If you've been curious about a career in data, or you're already working in a data-adjacent role and want to formalise your skills, now is probably the right time to have that conversation.

Our Career Consultants can walk you through what the path looks like for someone in your situation, specifically. No obligation.
