Pronovix ITrainee Program - Developer and IT Project Manager Journeys

I applied for the ITrainee Program to gain experience in the field of IT. The program was intense but the mentors were always there to help you along the way. I really enjoyed that we were able to try ourselves in different situations and tasks, so we could get an idea about which field of programming we would like to work in and to experience what is it like to work at Pronovix. At the end of the program I got the opportunity to work as a frontend developer at the company, which I was really excited about. I’m trying to learn as much as I can since I started working and I’m pretty excited about this new chapter in my life. :)

I came to the ITrainee Program with very little experience in IT yet I could manage to complete it. I felt it very liberating and empowering that if I am motivated and focused enough I can learn a whole new field, very different from the one I previously worked in. Undoubtedly, the highlight of the program was the work with my team and the community I got to know at Pronovix. The biggest strength of the program is that the people working at the company really do have a very helpful, understanding and compassionate attitude which indeed does create a place to grow. This is what Pronovix's website claims and based on my experience these turned out to be true and not just empty words.

After my studies in economics, I decided to realise my childhood dream of becoming a developer. - While I tried to familiarise myself with the basics before my application, the real progress was achieved during this three-month program. As an ITrainee, I could learn and work as part of the Pronovix team, and it all became an exciting adventure… especially because I was finally hired as a junior front-end developer with continued mentoring. I feel that I can develop day by day, both professionally and personally, as I always have the chance to learn something new.

I was working as a university professor when I heard about the ITrainee Program. I’d been thinking about a career change back then, so I was happy to grab the opportunity. I applied with zero IT knowledge, but I got in! During the three months of the traineeship I’ve learnt so much that at the end of the program I got a job offer. Today I’m working as a backend developer, and I’m growing a bit every day.

The ITrainee Program is a good opportunity if you are interested in web development and would like to obtain practice-oriented knowledge. Everyone is welcome, your background doesn’t really matter. I thought it would be disadvantageous that I didn’t have too much experience in this field, but my teammates and the mentors were kind and they helped in everything.

I came to the program with zero IT experience, but this wasn’t a problem at all. With the help and guidance of the mentors, I was able to learn things I have never even heard of. I guess, this is one of the main benefits of the program: it helps you to realize that you are capable of doing much more than you think.
