Overview
Normally a BCS Member Exclusive event, this session is available to all students, digital apprentices and early careers/career changers in tech.
Trust in tech starts with trust in you! This session will help you build confidence, credibility, and long‑term growth.
Join us as we guide early‑career IT professionals, students, and apprentices through the evolving realities of IT and digital roles in 2026.
We will be highlighting the growing importance of judgement, communication, adaptability, and sustainable performance.
BCS will introduce three key skill pillars and how each supports confidence, credibility, and long‑term growth.
What you can expect
Through interactive polls, real‑world scenarios, and practical reflections, participants can learn how to navigate rapid technological change, articulate their value, and manage cognitive load effectively.
What you'll come away with
The session concludes with a focused 12–18‑month development plan and actionable next steps, including how to use BCS membership, CPD modules, and how to appear on RITTech, a public register, to showcase your industry approved competence and build recognised, future‑ready capability.
