_Practical skills are a critical part of finding a rewarding and fulfilling job. This simple fact is especially true in the world of modern work, where skills that are needed to work with digital technology, software, and highly complex platforms are key to keep operations running smoothly. _
Bongani Maila knew that developing these skills would be a crucial part of securing future job opportunities in a high-paying and stable career. So he signed up for a full-time online HyperionDev Full Stack Web Developer bootcamp. On this intensive, mentor-led bootcamp, Bongani was able to learn job-ready skills to build working web and software applications, and start working as a professional full stack developer.
Just a month after graduating from his HyperionDev Full Stack Web Developer bootcamp, Bongani landed a job as a Data Analyst, before eventually finding his new role as a Full Stack PHP developer at The MCG group_._
We asked him a few questions about his journey in learning to code, why he decided to learn the skill set to change his career path, and what it was like to learn web development on a HyperionDev coding bootcamp.
Was taking a bootcamp about upskilling and improving your current job prospects or about making a drastic career change?
It was more of improving the skill set I currently have. I’m always looking to hone these skills; at the moment I’m still doing my IT diploma as well.
Why did you decide to sign up for a coding bootcamp and learn to code?
I wanted to develop skills for an in-demand job, because I know that most companies need programmers. For me it was all about solidifying what I currently know, and HyperionDev looked like a great place to start. It was a no-brainer, really.
