understand, and manipulate information. The creation, production,
commercialization, and widespread use of new technology are the major
operations carried out by the manufacturing and service 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.

What do computer programmers do?

4
 • Writing and testing code for new programs. 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.

• MedTech, the revolution in medicine
The convergence of IoT and MedTech represents a significant chance
to leverage digital technologies like virtual care, RPA, AI, and others to
overcome obstacles and settle disputes in the modern healthcare
industry.
• Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity
The primary goal of this technology is to increase data security on
smart networks; therefore, businesses should prioritize optimizing
smart device security capabilities.
• Blockchain, one of the most secure ICT trends guarantees that
the integrity of data is maintained while doing away with single control
over information and party middlemen. To enable the automation of
transactions and communications, the data are thus stored in a highly
secure and encrypted manner, thereby providing an unquestionable
boost to digital identity.

Issues in Information and Communications Technology (ICT)

• Cybersecurity threats: With the increasing reliance on digital
systems and the internet, cybersecurity threats such as hacking,
malware, phishing, and cyber attacks have become a significant
concern for individuals, businesses, and governments. Protecting
sensitive data and critical infrastructure from cyber threats is a top
priority.
• Data privacy and regulation: The collection, storage, and use of
personal data by companies and organizations have raised concerns
