Trainees Success Stories
“After 15 years in IT and progressing to the role of Network Administrator, I began to feel
stagnant and found my job increasingly unfulfilling. I decided to enroll in and complete
the 6-month DevOps course at theITern. Thanks to the thorough training, resume guidance,
and interview preparation, I secured a $230K (total package) role with Google after several
interviews.”

DevOps Engineer, USA

“After completing the 6-month DevOps training, I struggled to secure job interviews on my
own. When I shared this with Mr. Akin, he connected me with some brilliant alumni who
provided the support I needed to land my first tech role as a DevOps Engineer. I’ve since
transitioned to a less hectic role, still working as a DevOps Engineer”

"TheITern’s training not only prepared me
for my current role as a Systems Engineer
in the Data Center, but Mr. Akin went
above and beyond to support me
throughout the background check
process, even after I received my offer
letter. His prompt responses to all
inquiries from the hiring manager
ensured a seamless onboarding in my
new role."

"I built a 9-year profile in marketing back in Africa. After arriving in the USA, I enrolled in a
3-month technical training program with theITern to gain insights into Cloud technology
and how it could benefit my future career. Fortunately, the skills I acquired opened the
door to my first job in the USA, and I am now a Solution Architect with a pay package
exceeding $200K."

"Coming from a non-tech background, training at theITern is my first-ever IT experience.
While still enrolled in the Cloud Security course, I secured my first tech role as a Windows
Cloud Administrator. I'm continuing the training, learning new skills, and receiving the
support I need to excel in my new role."
