“This programme was extremely rewarding for me. I got to learn the skills and top technologies used by Software Engineers during class sessions and also during my internship phase. It wasn't easy and was quite intense but the hardwork actually paid off; I was able to land my very first technical role with the iSpark Inno team itself."
