Jumping into the tech industry, as exciting as it sounds,
0:04
can be confusing for some people.
0:07
The tech landscape is very different from other industries out there.
0:09
It's extremely fast-paced, has an initial skills barrier to entry,
0:13
and is constantly changing and evolving.
0:17
Looking from the outside in,
0:19
you might be interested in being a part in all of this
0:21
but you don't know where to start.
0:24
Now you listen to everyone out there
0:25
and you learn how to code,
0:28
but now how do you convert those skills to a job?
0:29
What kinds of jobs are out there for you?
0:32
And how do you find one that fits you?
0:34
Don't worry though, that's what we're here for.
0:37
If you know a little bit about the industry
0:39
or nothing at all, you're at the right place.
0:42
Over the next few videos, we're going to take a look at
0:44
what it means to be a web designer, web developer, or a mobile developer.
0:47
We'll look at what skills you need to be employed in one of these roles,
0:51
what you can make in the industry,
0:55
and—more importantly—we'll talk to our teachers
0:57
and hear their perspectives on what it is like to be part of the industry.
0:59
Once you have a better understanding of how the industry works
1:03
and what job you'd like to pursue,
1:07
you can then go about learning the skills
1:09
and networking your way into your dream job.
1:11
Without this kind of direction
1:13
it can all get very overwhelming.
1:15
What should I learn?
1:17
How is this applicable, and how can I connect these dots?
1:18
We'll help you establish that roadmap
1:21
starting with what job you like,
1:24
which skills you should learn,
1:26
and then how you can land yourself one of those roles.
1:28
Let's get started.
