Working as an IT Assistant is a great starting point or stepping stone if you’re starting out in the industry. It provides you with plenty of hands-on experience and there’s plenty of opportunities to progress your career, whether as a system administrator, network engineer, or cybersecurity expert.
It’s an excellent entry-level role that provides you with a pathway to senior roles. Since you will be working closely with different departments, you can build strong interpersonal and problem-solving skills, both of which are highly valued across industries.
Since the pandemic, many IT roles, including assistant roles, offer hybrid or remote working. You can therefore enjoy control over your work-life balance.

- Updating technology and tools to ensure the latest products, documents and relevant software’s are accessible and communicating prospective changes to employees
