After working as a Teaching Assistant in Hong Kong, Kin Pong Johnny Lau made a bold move — relocating to the UK with a dream of building a career in the technology sector.
While he had some theoretical coding knowledge, he needed real-world, hands-on experience to make the transition possible.

That’s where ITonlinelearning’s Coding Job Programme came in.
