Our Candidates Have Come To Us From More Industries Than We Can Count
Whether you’ve been affected by redundancy, unemployment, or are simply looking for a career change, there’s no right or wrong way to enter a professional industry. Your experience before training has likely already given you a wealth of transferable skills, many of which you might not even realise you have. If you’re new to the Property, Finance, or IT sectors, formal training is often the fastest and most effective way to start a career in them. Here’s some practical advice to help:
Choose the Right Professional Path
Many roles in Property, Finance, and IT involve working closely with clients. Time and again, employers say that while technical skills are important, candidates often lack the soft skills and personality needed to thrive in the role.
So take time to reflect on the skills you’ve gained so far: problem-solving, time management, leadership, meeting deadlines, motivating others, decision-making, communication, and staying positive under pressure. Pair these with the right technical skills, and you could become a highly desirable candidate.

Plan Your Next Move Carefully
Having a clear roadmap is crucial. A good plan includes: what technical training you need and how to get it, your timeline for getting qualified, and your income goals after completing the course.
Working with Career Wiz means that you'll have a reliable support system in place from the word go. Even before you decide to enrol on a course, we’ll help you figure out everything from timelines to clearly defining what your ideal career looks like.
A Good Degree Isn’t Always Enough
The Finance and IT sectors remains the hardest industries to break into at entry-level. According to the Office of National Statistics, out of all UK computer science graduates in 2022/23, only 32% found their way into an IT job within 6 months of graduation. The reason is simple. As technology and finance becomes more complex, even starting positions within the sectors require a strong set of up-to-date practical skills.
With trends and technologies moving so fast, a degree alone is often not considered enough to prepare employees for the challenges of the job. Employers are looking for specialist training, brilliant communication skills, commitment and a genuine industry passion.
