Why Tech Careers Are For Everyone

Work Inspiration and Preparation Provided by BBC Scotland

Join us for a fun and inspiring session exploring why tech careers are for everyone—no matter your background, interests, or skills. Whether you're into art, science, storytelling, gaming, or solving real-world problems, there’s a place for you in the tech world. We’ll bust the myth that you have to be a coding genius to work in tech and highlight the wide range of roles that need creativity, communication, teamwork, and curiosity. From designing apps to helping people stay safe online, from creating digital content to managing big ideas, tech touches every part of life—and it needs all kinds of people to make it work. You'll learn why understanding how technology works is important in any job and how you can start building your path into tech right now, even if you’ve never written a line of code. Come away feeling confident, excited, and ready to see your future in tech—because tech is for everyone, including you!
