Potential job outcomes
The training pathways are designed to help learners build a portfolio that can support applications for roles such as:

Skills for a changing technology industry
Artificial intelligence is changing the technology industry quickly. Tools can generate code, create prototypes and automate tasks, but people still need to understand the technology they use.
Learners develop skills in:
- Programming and software development
- Building and testing applications
- Databases, APIs and web technologies
- GitHub and version control
- Spec driven development
- Process Automation
- AI enabled development tools
- AI Assisted development
One of the core principles of Automation Skills is keeping student numbers manageable so learners can receive meaningful one on one time, practical guidance and support.
