Career center

Learners who complete Try It: Intro to HTML will develop knowledge and skills that may be useful to these careers:
Web Developer
Those who wish to learn more about working with websites and other web assets may be interested in a career as a Web Developer. Web Developers are tasked with building and maintaining websites, and a deep understanding of HTML is required for succeeding in this line of work.
Webmaster
A Webmaster is in charge of managing and maintaining a website or group of websites, and knowledge of HTML is typically a requirement.
Web Designer
Similar to a Front-End Web Developer, Web Designers concentrate their work on the user-facing side of websites. They make sure that web pages are visually appealing and have a layout that makes their content understandable and easy to use. Accordingly, a deep understanding of HTML would be greatly helpful, as it could allow a Web Designer to work even more closely with Front-End Web Developers on implementing a website's design.
Front-End Web Developer
For those new to the field of web development, Front-End Web Developers are the ones who make websites visually appealing and functional. Using expert training, they make sure that web pages are easy to use and enjoyable to browse. While many Front-End Web Developers may not need an HTML certification, they make HTML code work each and every day, and would benefit greatly from a deeper understanding of the language.
Software Engineer
Those wishing to work behind the scenes of websites and other software tools may be interested in learning about a career as a Software Engineer. Software Engineers are tasked with designing, building, testing, and maintaining computer programs, and knowledge of HTML could open up doors to working on new and exciting projects.
Computer Programmer
Someone working as a Computer Programmer would use HTML to translate complex programming languages into formats that can be displayed on a user's web browser. Many Computer Programmers may not need to know HTML, but being able to add it to their skill set can make them more competitive in the job market.
Database Manager
A Database Manager is in charge of maintaining and securing databases, and HTML knowledge can help when it comes to designing and building databases.
Information Architect
An Information Architect is tasked with designing and building information systems that are both useful and desirable. A deep understanding of code, such as HTML, is helpful as they need to work closely with web developers to execute their ideas.
Quality Assurance Analyst
Similar to a Software Tester, a Quality Assurance Analyst is tasked with finding defects in a software product, particularly in the field of hardware and software engineering. Having knowledge of HTML could make a candidate more competitive.
Software Tester
Software Testers are responsible for finding defects so that developers can fix them and the end product works correctly. While not always necessary, some companies may look for HTML knowledge in a Software Tester.
Technical Writer
Those wishing to work with both programming and writing can combine their passions by working as a Technical Writer. They are tasked with writing instruction manuals, articles, and other documents that explain how to use technical products, including software and computer programs.
IT Support Specialist
