Digital Futures took the initial passion I had for data and tech, grew my ambition to pursue it as a career and then gave me the tools and opportunity to actually do that – I will always be grateful to Digital Futures for that.
I really needed to do the Digital Futures Academy. I needed the training, from technical to professional skills. If I’d gone straight into a corporate job I would have found it so difficult. I’m now a Solution Platform Architect in an ESG team at a global bank.
The important thing for me was just to get my foot in the door and Digital Futures would allow me to do that. I’m so happy to have been placed as a business analyst - the fact that I really understand the technical and architectural side has really set me up well.
The immersive training at Digital Futures have opened opportunities for me. Thanks to the team here at Digital Futures, I felt like I was set up for success and the placement has provided me with a strong network to help me achieve my goals.
The transition from the Academy to the workplace was seamless as I was equipped with the technical and professional skills required. This was the foundation I needed to kickstart my career and I cannot express enough gratitude towards Digital Futures for this opportunity
Digital Futures was my beacon of hope. I loved the company’s mission and the focus on removing barriers. I was looking for someone to be in my corner, to tell me what skills I was lacking and where I needed to improve. Digital Futures invested in me and supported me.
The Academy was intense, yet extremely rewarding. Where Digital Futures excels is how much emphasis has been put in to developing us as professionals and ensuring we were both technically and professionally ready to venture into the workplace.
All the staff at Digital Futures are hugely supportive and I have been incredibly lucky to have started on placement in a really great company within a couple of months of the course finishing. All the hard work, stress, and long hours have really paid off for me.
