Why did you start the Traineeship?
After being in Sales based positions for the majority of my professional life, I was looking for a change of career and working environment. I’ve always had an interest in Tech and it seemed like a great opportunity to get the right qualifications to start a new career. This course really appealed to me as it was geared towards finding a role at the end of the traineeship so I felt supported in making such a huge change to my career and life.

I’ve joined a fantastic company who are keen to support my development and have a clear career path set out for me.
