It's really difficult to figure out what you want to do when you’re older. There are so many different options, and at the same time it feels like you don’t know most of the options!

With digital becoming such a major part of all job roles, it can be difficult to understand all of the different careers that this new digital world offers. The digital world is developing and evolving every day and schools seem to still only talk about the standard, professional careers such as accountants, nurses and solicitors.

The THIS IS HOW podcast introduces people who have different careers in the digital industry. It isn’t just computer programming, which a lot of people think of, but they interview – for example – someone who works as a data analyst on Love Island, and an engineer at BuzzFeed.

You can listen to the THIS IS HOW podcast by going directly to their website or by searching ‘THIS IS HOW’ on Spotify or Apple Podcasts.

You can use the THIS IS HOW platform to find out the skills you need to break into the career you want. Whether you want to work in animation, coding, as a data scientist or, truthfully, if you don’t even know what you want to do… the website breaks down the required skills and suggests training courses, resources you can go to – and often, many of these are even free.

Do you think people understand the potential of a career in the digital world?

On her radio show, Hermione Paul shared some of her listeners messages on whether people realise the potential of a career in the digital world - and she heard from listener Jason who has had a whole nee world opened up to him thanks to THIS IS HOW.

Broadcasted exclusively worldwide on W!ZARD Radio Station.
