Samuel Symonds's journey

Why did you start the traineeship?

I started the traineeship as a means to transition into a career in web development. I had previously been employed in other sectors and I didn’t feel that my current path was leading me towards something I wanted to pursue. After lots of research, and discussions with those I knew already in the industry, web development ended up ticking all the boxes for me.

What did you enjoy most?

The course curriculum was well structured, easy to follow and I was always aware of my progress towards the end goal. However, the key factor for me was the support I received both during the completion of my final projects from my tutors as well as from my recruitment specialist during the application phase.

What's your current role like?

I work in my current role as a Junior Software Engineer at a startup in London. Predominantly I work with frontend code in React with Typescript.
