New Country, New Career Goals

Werner Gomindes arrived in the UK looking for a new beginning and a clear path into employment. He wanted to work as a software developer but needed the right qualifications and local support to enter the job market confidently.

That is when he enrolled in ITOL Recruit’s Coding Job Programme.

Earning a UK-Recognised Diploma

One of Werner’s first steps was earning a UK-recognised diploma certification. This credential helped him stand out to employers and gave him a solid foundation in software development.

Building a Portfolio That Gets Noticed

His tutor, Emanuel, was instrumental in supporting this part of his journey. Emanuel helped with everything from technical queries to project design, giving Werner the confidence to publish a strong LinkedIn profile and attract real employer interest.

When it came time to apply for jobs, Werner worked closely with his recruitment advisor, Roxanne. She helped him fine-tune his CV and navigate the UK hiring process. Timely feedback and regular check-ins made the process smooth and focused.

Tutor support continued throughout, ensuring Werner fully understood the course content and could confidently apply it in interviews.
