With the arrival of a new lockdown, many people back on furlough, and most of the nation working from home, whatever your personal situation, the likelihood is you have a little more time on your hands at the start of 2021 than you may have expected. Whatsmore, UK unemployment rates are likely to hit 2.6 million by the middle of 2021 – according to the BBC – and many Brits will be thinking about a career change or job in a completely new sector altogether. For those looking to switch industries, build new skills and kick start their career in tech, or just pick up some new skills for their CV, Jolt who provides flexible, online learning is here to help by offering access to free 45-minute bi-weekly courses.

Jolt is an online educational platform which helps individuals use their existing skills to kickstart a career in tech regardless of their age, background or experience. Given 80% of roles in tech aren’t technical positions, Jolt aims to get individuals into a tech career using their existing skills and set them on a new and more fulfilling career path.

In the last two years alone, UK tech employment has grown by 40% – accounting for 9% of the national workforce and the creation of 2.93m jobs. What’s more, tech roles are among the UK’s fastest growing jobs so much so the UK tech economy is now a bigger employer than sectors like hospitality, construction and financial services (Tech Nation).

Whether you’re wondering what to do whilst on furlough or are looking to brush up on your tech skills and jumpstart a new career, there’s a course for everyone. Jolt’s can help you finesse your skills – for free!
