Careers close-up: You need to be mobile to get mobile

The explosion in the number of smartphones and tablets since the launch of the pioneering iPhone back in 2007 has led to a whole new IT jobs market. The world is now a very different place from 2007. Our lives have been transformed by the devices we now use on a daily basis, in the form of smartphones and tablets. As a result, we have seen significant changes within the IT jobs market and this is just the start of the journey.


Jobs within mobile technology are going to grow exponentially. Opportunities will increase, and there will, of course, be jobs in sectors that haven’t yet been invented. The internet of things will see tech developments in everything from household appliances to lighting and heating.



Developments in the field of mobile are so rapid, you will need to be ‘mobile’ in relation to your professional development and upskilling if you are to stay on top of the fantastic opportunities that mobile tech is going to present.

Read what our Graduates have to say about Springboard at DBS

"Having been fortunate enough to gain a place studying Digital Marketing as part of the Springboard initiative at DBS I found myself enjoying the course from the start. The attitude of lecturers and students was immediately positive and encouraging, while the course content itself was thorough and enjoyable.

Gaining new skills and the general environment of encouragement certainly helped my own prospects and confidence with regard to future professional development.

I found the DBS city centre location convenient and vibrant. Overall, having seen my career benifit significantly both during and after my time at the college I feel that my participation on the course at DBS was an extremely rewarding and beneficial experience."
