While the tech sector, known for its lucrative entry-level roles, is exercising caution in hiring, opportunities in education have seen a notable increase, with a 15% rise in recent graduate hires in 2023 compared to 2022.?

Instead, he emphasises the importance of focusing on the skills acquired during their education that can be applied across various roles. Skills such as problem-solving, data analysis, and project management are transferable and valuable in any job, he insists.
