Madeleine Scherer's journey

Why did you start the traineeship?

I started the Traineeship because I wanted a career change; to move out of precarious teaching positions at universities into a career that felt more stable and gave me room to grow.

What did you enjoy most?

I really enjoyed the online lectures; they could be accessed whenever I wanted, were of extremely high quality, and prepared me perfectly for the CompTIA A+ exams.

What's your current role like?

In my current role as Data Analyst I am able to use the analytical skills I developed during my career as a lecturer, but using various IT-systems in depth, allowing me to come to well-founded conclusions based on the data I’m working with.
