Which industries are currently looking for coding skills?

Are you a dab hand with computers or a software geek looking for a new role? Finding a new job can be exhausting regardless of your individual experience, but we understand the specific challenges that come with job seeking in such a competitive industry.

In the following guide, we’ll outline a few of the industries calling out to programming experts. Before you check out all the latest jobs for computer science graduates, make sure you don’t overlook an industry you could potentially shape your career in.

  1. Finance

Over the past few years, large corporations and major banks have started to value the unique skills that can be brought to their business by hiring coders.

With professionals across the globe all tapping into this market at the same time, programming courses are becoming a preferred, cost-effective solution to prepare future financial employees. If you’ve completed a course at one of the best UK universities for courses in computer science, you’ll already stand out to financial firms as someone with an analytical, mathematical mind.

  1. Data and analytics

Data science and analysis roles can be the hardest for companies to fill, despite it being an incredibly deep and varied field with fantastic prospects for those just starting out.

Becoming a data analyst means you’ll be able to apply tools and techniques to visualise and interpret data, collecting it and transporting it to a range of different locations. Fundamentally, you’ll be playing a pivotal role in keeping systems accurate, up-to-date, and reliable for a company.

Piecing together relevant information and applying it to a logical, structured order is a key part of working as a data analyst. If you started your coding journey with a BeagleBoard or a similar type of single-board computer, it’s easy to see that the fundamental skills behind the work never change.

  1. Software development and engineering

Careers in software development branch almost directly from studying programming at university – particularly if you’ve carried on your studies to a postgraduate level.

Software itself is the core programs that deliver instructions to a computer. Coders design and write programs to complete specific tasks, and these might include merging databases, displaying graphics and texts, or processing online orders.

If you become a software engineer, you’ll be applying key principles to build software to improve or replace existing processes. Using specific coding languages and specific tools, you’ll come up with innovative solutions to solve multiple issues rather than one specific problem.

  1. Graphic design

If you’d like to put your visual skills, problem-solving and imagination to good use in your career, you might want to consider a role in graphic design.

Don’t be put off by the fact that your experience might be slightly different to that of other candidates: all you’ll need is a solid portfolio and to be able to convince your interviewer that this choice is right for you.
