How We Upskilled into Tech and Why it’s Never Too Late to Retrain
Four women coming together to talk about how they got to their current roles; Dora, Software Engineering Manager, had a career in Flash when it got decommissioned and had to retrain in JavaScript. Sam, Change Delivery Senior Manager, has worked in delivery for 20 years, initially a Business Analyst & Product Manager eventually ending up in Tech. Lara, Graduate Software Engineer, came into Tech recently via Code First Girls having studied Psychology with Criminology. Sophie, Principal Software Engineer, made a career switch from Operations, learning Java alongside her full time job. Come listen to their vastly different journeys into Tech and be reminded it’s never too late to retrain.
