Developing and Deepening SUB-TOPIC 1: Sectors of ICT and Its Career and Business Opportunities Understanding (Tasks and 1. Explicitation Start the class with an Thoughts) ICT plays a significant role nowadays. ICT or Information and Communications Technology stresses the role of engaging activity by unified communications and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals) and showing career pictures to computers, as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audiovisual, that enable users to the students and allow access, store, transmit, understand, and manipulate information. The creation, production, commercialization, them to identify the and widespread use of new technology are the major operations carried out by the manufacturing and service sectors sectors that comprise the ICT sector. ICT skills are becoming more in demand, and organizations might benefit from combining these with communication abilities in Public Relations, advertising, and media communications. Here are the different preferences when it comes to choosing career paths. It covers career opportunities in ICT sectors such as Programming, Visual Arts, Computer System Servicing, and Telecommunications. Computer Programming- Programming skills are essential for many technology disciplines but are in especially high demand for software and web development roles. Programmer - professionals who write and test code to enable applications and software programs to run successfully on a computer in order to create instructions for the machine to follow.

Computer programmers work closely with web and software developers to write code for new mobile applications or computer programs. • Updating existing programs. Programmers also create and install updates for existing software programs. An update might include a bug fix, or enhanced functionality to improve the user experience. • Identifying and correcting coding errors. On a daily basis, computer programmers might assist in troubleshooting parts of a website or computer program that are not functioning correctly. • Rewriting programs for different operating systems. Often, programmers have to rewrite code in different languages, so that programs and applications can be compatible with different operating systems. • Secure programs against cybersecurity threats. Many computer programmers work in the cybersecurity field, helping to identify malicious software and fix software that could be vulnerable to potential hacks. Web and game developer - Making interactive, eye-catching experiences is what game development is all about, so maybe that fits you better. However, web development can be a fantastic option if you're passionate about creating websites and web applications as well as working with various technologies.
