What we’re about
Are you a computing student or recent graduate eager to break into the tech industry but struggling with the hurdles of landing that first software development job?
The journey from graduation to your first tech role can be tough. Many students face common challenges such as:
- Lack of real-world experience needed to stand out in a competitive job market.
- Weak understanding of algorithms and data structures that are critical for technical interviews.
- Unpolished CVs and portfolios that don’t showcase your potential.
- Limited industry connections and networking opportunities, making it harder to get referrals.
- Inconsistent interview performance, especially when it comes to technical assessments and behavioral questions.
