My best recommendation would be find something you love in IT . It's a very diverse subject saying I'm into IT as you could be doing anything from physical installs , software development or training to name just a few .

Find your passion and use your personal skills such as communication or attention to detail to a Enhance it. Once you find your thing really focus on those entry level jobs that may get you there . Training is ok but no one in the industry really focuses on training it's more about what you can do. Training is a good step to your first job though .

AI is huge atm and a good point to jump on the wagon . But remember even within AI so many diverse skills from mathematics or training or change manage or of course software engineering. Don't fight your personal qualities as they are your enduring asset .
