How Umbrella Club supports IT contractors

IT contracting, while rewarding, can be an unpredictable profession. Many organisations and job offers are kept behind closed doors, which can stunt your career growth if you don’t have a way in.

Umbrella Club is about connecting IT professionals and building a talented, successful community. Every member is highly qualified and carefully vetted so that you know every connection is worth making. Beyond networking, Umbrella Club IT support gives members practical guidance, resources, and assistance to help them navigate changes and build stronger careers.

But how can this community support you? And can Umbrella Club support more than just your network? In this article, we’ll detail the many unique ways Umbrella Club supports its members so you know what to expect.

A community built for IT professionals

Umbrella Club creates a community of connected, driven, and passionate IT professionals. While you may want to focus on building an independent career, you don’t want to miss out on valuable connections and opportunities.

Umbrella Club was inspired by proven overseas community-based staffing models. Members of different industry communities can make decisions that strengthen their careers and meet their needs, together.

We then adapted our model for the Australian IT industry, all while preserving contracting freedom.

Our goal is to help IT contractors achieve more from their careers. More development opportunities. More earnings. And more credibility. All to build thriving careers.

The unique ways Umbrella Club supports members

Along with Umbrella Club membership comes a variety of unique and valuable benefits. Here, we’ll detail what you can expect by joining our community.

Access to exclusive job opportunities

Because our community is made up of talented, fully vetted professionals, we’ve built a reputation. This means that we have partners and clients who come to us first with some of the best IT contracting opportunities.

Our system allows us to find the right fit and offer our members these exclusive opportunities. Likewise, once you’ve found work with a premium client, you can start building a relationship with them.

This means you may enjoy lasting connections and potentially more job opportunities down the line.

Career development and support

Umbrella Club isn’t just about the job opportunities. We also want to work with you to strengthen your skills and develop your career. As such, we offer a variety of resources to help you progress.

For instance, our experienced team can help you by offering proactive sales support. This means we can help you find jobs that suit your skills, refine your CV or pitch, and even offer expert negotiation support.

Not only will you find the right jobs, but you can get more from them.

Peer networking and mentorship

Despite our many other unique offerings, the benefits that come with our community are one of our greatest strengths. You can quickly and easily make connections with peers, gain valuable support, and learn by teaching them in turn.

Likewise, we also provide access to specialist chapters and events.

Our specialist chapters mean you can find an expert on different topics when you need them. You can access vital resources and information with ease.

Our exclusive events allow you to make real connections, grow your network, and strengthen your reputation. They can help you be seen as a more authoritative figure in your IT field and help you expand your reach.

Referrals can also be offered through our peer network. If you’ve built a strong connection, they may recommend you for other contracting jobs. This can give you access to other high-end clients that would otherwise be closed to you.
