Soft Skills: The Key to High-Performing Junior Tech Professionals
Technical ability alone is no longer enough to secure or sustain a successful career.
At Corecom Technology Academy, we believe that the most employable and high-performing tech professionals are those who combine technical skills with solid soft skills such as communication, collaboration, stakeholder management, and adaptability.
It’s this combination that truly sets our Associate Consultants apart, making a long-lasting impact for businesses - and that’s why our training programmes are built around both.
The Technical Skills Employers Expect
Technical proficiency is the bedrock of any tech role. From software development and data analysis to DevOps and cyber security, employers want talent that’s project-ready from day one. Our Academy’s curriculum is designed in close partnership with our clients, ensuring our Associate Consultants gain the practical, in-demand skills they need to thrive in your teams.
We focus on real-world, project-based learning through tailored career mentorship and continuous learning and development, so our Assocaite Consultants are not only confident in their capabilities but prepared to add value immediately.
Soft Skills: The Missing Piece
In many hiring processes across the UK tech sector, a common challenge employers face is finding technically capable candidates who can also communicate effectively, manage stakeholders, or work well in teams - because soft skills aren’t optional, they’re essential for thriving in tech.
That’s why our programmes include intensive soft skills development: asking questions to support continuous learning; presenting technical solutions and receiving feedback; and working in agile teams and improving emotional intelligence. These are the skills that empower people to keep learning, contribute more, and grow in their roles.
“My journey in tech began with taking old desktops and laptops from friends and family, and making them fully functional again by replacing the operating system with Linux. With previous experience in hospitality, warehouses, and admin work, Corecom Technology Academy’s training has equipped me with the technical skills and knowledge to hit the ground running in Tech.
I now work for a leading global brand as a Quality & Test Engineer, automating tests for new and existing systems!”
