As few as eight years ago there were no Android or iOS developers - because there were no smartphones! Self-driving cars were just a dream. And 3-D printing of prosthetics wasn’t even imaginable. Yet today, all those these sectors are thriving and likely to supply many of tomorrow’s jobs.
Last year we helped to publish the Careers with Code guide, which showed the wide variety of careers that computer science can lead to - everything from art and music to medicine and agriculture. In Australia alone, demand for skilled computer scientists is growing rapidly. In this year’s guide we’ve showcased more amazing and diverse Computer Science careers in fields such as sport, gaming, health, sustainability, and more.
Australia needs technically-capable grads with a passion to solve the really tough challenges facing the world. We hope this guide will inspire your students to take up the challenge and become the change makers, innovators, and creators of the future.
Today, with Refraction Media and we're launching the 2015 edition of Careers with Code, with an unprecedented distribution of 175,000 magazines – 50 copies for every Australian high school, university careers centres and science outreach programs - being distributed across the country.
Careers with Code, a magazine, digital e-zine and website, shows high school students the wide variety of careers that computer science can lead to – everything from art and music to business, sports, health and conservation. We encourage you to share this resource with the widest possible audience of students, teachers and parents - it’s not just for the tech, science or maths classes!
Help us start the conversation about the careers of the future with your community, and inspire the next generation to change the world.
