What is Beyond the Cloud?

Beyond the Cloud offers employers the opportunity to enhance the skills of their existing workforce or hire from a pool of trained, job-ready professionals.

What did I learn?

Upon acceptance into the program I was placed in the Backend Developer - II cohort to hone my skills in server side and API development.

Over the 10 week program I completed 3 course listed below:

As well as courses focused on leveling up soft skills:

Capstone Project

The final 4 week of the program gave me the opportunity to work with my fellow students and join an active project and combine our skillsets to achieve a common goal. This project was facilitated through Riipen - a work based learning platform.

Working alongside participants from other cohorts (DevOps, Database Administration & Cloud Engineering) we helped improve and add features to an existing Django codebase.

It’s a great experience being dropped into a production codebase using a technology I am less comfortable in and finding success. It was a really motivating to know that I could contribute to a professional development team.

Continued Support from ICTC

ICTC has continued to provide networking and upskilling opporunities since my completion of the program and I am so thankful that I was able to be a participant and graduate.
