The Opportunity of A Lifetime

There is always a point in an individual’s life where the inherent need for more must be fulfilled, and the Azubi AWS Re/Start program was the perfect opportunity for each of us to achieve the “more” we had been searching for. 

— AZUBI AWS re/Start Graduating Class 2021

 

Before the program, many of us had felt the need for something more fulfilling. Right before us was an opportunity to acquire knowledge and skills for our professional and personal improvement free of charge, and all we had to do was join. We acquired relevant skills for the industry such as Programming, Databases, Networking, Linux, Cloud Foundations, and soft skills such as Resume Writing, Communication, etc.

On the 19th of October 2020, we began the Azubi AWS Re/Start program. That afternoon we had the “Kick-Off”, the atmosphere, although virtual, was charged with nervous excitement. The Kick-Off represented the beginning of our pursuit of successful careers.

In a nutshell, the three-month Azubi AWS re/Start program was indeed beyond our expectations. Throughout the process was a seamless remote learning journey, where we studied, practised, shared knowledge, and networked with seasoned trainers, mentors, and a vibrant learner community.

On our individual experiences, here are some testimonials:

“I found out about the program one day on LinkedIn. After enrolling on the program, I have gained both technical and soft skills that will help me excel as a professional e.g., collaborating with team members, presentation skills, etc. On a personal level, I have been able to network and build relationships with great personalities.  My favourite part program was the lab sessions where I got to try my hands on some real-life project tools. I initially had challenges adapting to the online mode of studies but I got used to it and even got to appreciate it more. I plan to use the cloud, specifically some AWS services, in data collection from farms to help farmers and the authorities in the agricultural sector as a whole to make well-informed decisions."

"My motivation to apply was that there was no requirement for previous technical knowledge to enroll in the program. The program taught me to move from my comfort zone and boosted my confidence. Professionally, this program has given me a better direction for my future career. I enjoyed seeing myself write some lines of code and deploying applications on the cloud, which I had no prior idea of. I was particularly impressed with how a 9-5 virtual training could be so effective With the help of colleagues and extra practice, I was able to overcome the challenge of understanding everything taught in one sitting."

"Before the Azubi Aws Re/Start program, I was undecided on my career pathway. I chanced on the program on an online job board and read into the latest technology trends and developments in Cloud Computing. I was accepted into the 3-month Azubi AWS re/Start program, where I was taken through the AWS Cloud Practitioner Certification. I enjoyed interactive sessions with technology leaders from Amazon, GetINNOtized, Fidelity Bank and Ashesi University in the “Cloud Impact for Ghanaian Businesses” event. After a successful completion, I was placed with GetINNOtized GmbH as a software engineering intern to begin my cloud journey. I realized that cloud computing is yet to achieve full potential in Ghana and Africa. I plan on designing innovative and robust systems to address challenges in local industries."

"I joined the program with no IT background and next to no idea about the course. Knowing that I did not have any other opportunities, I took the big leap to join the cohort and the opportunities have been amazing! The program has changed so much about me, personally and professionally. I put myself out there more, I take chances, and I have switched into a completely different direction from where I thought I was headed. In 3 months, I acquired my certification in a field in which I did not have any knowledge previously. I would use the knowledge I have acquired to make a difference. I aim to provide opportunities for women and the marginalized in society to achieve their goals."
