Français en bas After a 13 year hiatus, Jack Lanphear was ready to rejoin the tech sector and dive back into software development. Jack views the Skills for Hire Atlantic program as a great opportunity to refresh his previous skills while also giving him the chance to develop new skills along the way. In his time away from software development, Jack explored a career in the craft brewing industry! After spending multiple years in the brewing industry, Jack is ready to get back into web development, and explore that creative side once again.

“I have been active and interested in web development from all the way back to the 1990's with tools like Lynx and Newt running on OS/2.”

When asked about what he was enjoying the most from the program so far, Jack had multiple highlights to acknowledge:

“The self paced environment, my fellow students, and the new challenges that materials introduce every day.”

Once Yegor became aware of the Skills for Hire Atlantic program, he quickly applied because of the potential growth he could foresee from participating in the program.

“I've always been passionate about art and technology. Web development is what can help you combine these.”

When asked about the highlights of the program so far, Yegor mentioned his delight for everything that the Skills for Hire Atlantic program has to offer:

“Pretty much everything: the curriculum, the community (both my fellow students and Fred Cheung, our tutor), career development. I'm absolutely thrilled and definitely am having a good experience.”

Après avoir déménagé au Canada en août dernier, Yegor s'est mis en tête d'apprendre à coder et de réaliser son rêve de devenir développeur de logiciels Web 3.0. Il a passé d'innombrables heures à essayer d'apprendre à partir de tutoriels vidéo en ligne, mais il s'est rendu compte qu'il ne profitait pas du rôle que joue l'interaction humaine dans l'apprentissage.
