How did you start working with us?

I joined the Company Graduates Program with a background in a completely different field from IT, and I can confidently say that this has been one of the most transformative experiences of my life. From the moment I stepped through the doors, I felt like I was part of a supportive and nurturing community that was dedicated to helping me succeed in this new chapter of my career.

What have you learnt so far?

One of the standout aspects of the program is the learning experience it provides. The resources and opportunities for professional growth are truly exceptional. The program's high standards for quality have pushed me to exceed my own expectations, and I have grown immensely as a result. Every day feels like a new opportunity to expand my knowledge and skills.

What makes this program truly exceptional, however, is the people and the environment. The camaraderie among fellow graduates and the support from mentors and colleagues create an atmosphere of collaboration and growth. I've found that everyone is not only willing but eager to share their knowledge and expertise. This culture of teamwork and mentorship has made my transition into the IT world remarkably smooth.

Why VML?

The company's commitment to diversity and inclusion is also commendable. As someone coming from a different profession and background, I have never once felt out of place. Instead, I've been celebrated for my unique perspective and encouraged to bring my individuality to the table. This inclusivity has made me feel valued, heard, and respected throughout my journey.

I can wholeheartedly say that the Graduate Program is a remarkable opportunity for anyone looking to start a career in IT, regardless of their prior background. It is a place where you can learn, grow, and thrive, surrounded by incredible people in an inspiring environment. I am deeply grateful for this experience, and I look forward to a bright future here, thanks to the incredible support, the high standards, and the amazing people I've had the privilege to work with.
