Whether you’re a school leaver, career changer or someone looking to future-proof your skillset, The STC Group’s vocational IT and digital training programmes offer a direct route into one of the UK’s fastest-growing sectors.
Here’s why 2025 is the ideal time to level up your know-how.

Careers in IT and digital often come with strong salary prospects, especially as you build experience. Even entry-level roles such as IT support or junior data technicians offer competitive pay, with clear progression routes into specialist or management positions.
Starting your journey with a vocational course allows you to enter the job market quickly without the cost or time of a university degree.
