Around 72 per cent of young people in the country say they are interested in a career in technology - higher than any other region in the UK, a new study has found
Northern Ireland could potentially become the UK's answer to Silicon Valley, as a whopping three quarters of its young residents express a desire to work in the tech industry.
The survey revealed that 40 per cent of youngsters across all regions are proactively learning tech-based skills outside their formal education to stay competitive. However, a significant 65 per cent believe their background will influence their progression within the sector. Soohyun Jessie Park, a representative from the electronics giant, stated: "Innovation is for everyone and no young person should ever feel discouraged to pursue a good idea. This year, we're really focusing on the idea that innovation is for everyone, no matter the background."
And while 39 per cent of respondents believe they have the potential to create the next big tech invention, 40 per cent are deterred by the cost of education or training in tech and worry the lack of contacts or mentors in the industry could hinder their development opportunities.
