Sam Morpeth IT Career Switch
Course: Coding Traineeship
Placement Date: February 2021
Why did you start the Traineeship?
I started the traineeship because I saw IT as a reliable and rewarding career. I also wanted a skill which would allow me to be creative and take initiative on my own projects, but also work collaboratively with other like-minded people.
What did you enjoy most about the Traineeship?
I found the projects the most enjoyable. I liked that I was given some sort of goal and structure to work towards as Iโ€™d only ever really created projects for myself. It was great working with my tutor to meet deadlines and complete a project to a specific design.
What's your current role like?
My current role is fantastic. Iโ€™m a junior web developer for a local e-commerce site. I work on a variety of different technologies every day and get to work with an incredibly knowledgeable and supportive manager. I enjoy being able to learn different skills and contribute to the ongoing work of the team.
