Why are Technology Skills Important?
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Before now, many Nigerians after graduating from the tertiary institution leave with the intention of working in ministries, departments and agencies as civil servants. Especially for those who do not study lucrative courses like medicine and law.

Careers in law, medical sciences, architecture and engineering among others were the real deal. However, technology now has become the most important recruitment industry in the country and in the world.

With companies competing for the best talents, having an IT skill gives you more chances to secure a good job. There are plenty of reasons to be very, very optimistic about what’s happening in technology and getting a tech job.

Tech industries offer higher salaries, more jobs, and a value-driven culture that embraces creativity. So, if you haven’t been on the tech bandwagon yet, what are you waiting for?

With startups exploding across the country and focusing on technological innovation, the tech industry is challenging the supremacy and capacity of various government regulations.

Perhaps no industry is more globalized than the tech industry because it competes in every major market around the world, conducts research and design in multiple ways, and employs a pool of derived and globally dispersed talent to build its products and services.

Every profession and industry is becoming more technology-focused and dependent. Industries from agriculture to education, information, finance, sales and even public governance among others are integrating technology into their day-to-day operations.

Furthermore, learning and focusing on some IT roles that might fit your interests in skill development will most definitely get you a good technical job.

Jobs such as product management, technical writing, user experience design, user interface design, mobile design, SEO/search marketing, operations management, content creation, graphic design, software sales representation, database management, game design, and more.

Among the career opportunities listed above and the types of company you could work with are endless. You can work practically anywhere in the world. 

Also, you do not need a computer science degree to get into technology. Many companies hire graduates, even undergraduates from any degree field due to the recognition of skill.

This provides them opportunities to work for some of the best tech companies even from the comfort of their homes; remotely. Hence, enabling the operation of  flexible work schedules at convenience.

Having a good set of skills and knowledge will serve you well both professionally and personally.

Also, being able to include essential technical skills on your resume will make you more attractive to nearly every employer, regardless of industry, giving you the privilege to sit with respected professionals in other fields.

Technology is the Future

Digital technology is at the forefront of our ever-evolving world. As more people become accustomed to smartphones, nearly half of the world’s population is a mobile internet user.

With the increase in the number of online users, the understanding of many technology companies and startups along with the recruiting of individuals through their websites and other important channels for company growth cannot be overemphasized; due to the potentials offered by information technology.

With more and more people getting involved in the technology industry, having at least a passing knowledge and skill can come in handy.

Technology enables! Put your foot on the tech ladder today by equipping yourself to secure your future.
