GETTING INTO FUTURE OPTIONS
WITH demand for cyber security specialists skyrocketing, Gold Coasters are invited to attend Digitrek 21, a free six-week TAFE Queensland program providing insight into futurefocused industry sectors.
Starting in April, TAFE Queensland and event partner Southern Cross University are hosting the digital technology workshops and seminars with industry specialists to deliver experiences, expand networks and augment professional development.
Australian Computer Society’s schools program project manager Matthew Jorgensen said demand for digital and cyber security specialists was growing and that Digitrek was designed to help meet that need.
“There is no better industry to enter right now than the tech industry.
“Careers in blockchain, immersive tech, cyber security and artificial intelligence are all well-paid, flexible and constantly evolving,” he said.
“Cyber security is a particularly fertile career choice with the Australian cybersecurity sector expected to create an extra 18,000 jobs and triple in value to $6bn by 2026.”
Mr Jorgensen said the technologies on display through workshops, discussion panels, presentations and networking events included both the building blocks of a modern world and the future of consumer and business solutions.
“Participants will unpack concepts and learn new technology skills to open up a new world of possibility for a brilliant career in ICT,” he said.
