What else do businesses say about Digital Jobs

I think it’s a no brainer to get into the program, it’s been brilliant. They’re older people who are changing careers so they’re really passionate about it. They’re not straight out of uni and they bring life experience with them. Sally Williams, Tech Performance Lead, ANZ
