The Smart Skills Program has broadened my self-awareness and, based on that, sparked a flame to take certain points with me and see how I can improve myself even more. It was inspiring and very educational to participate together with the group under the guidance of Richelle and Martin. Thanks again for the journey!

Of the many who contacted me via LinkedIn, I ultimately decided to move forward with Yes : tech careers because of the pleasant communication and the personal interest they showed. This allowed them to make a good assessment of what kind of work and company culture would suit me best. After several introductory meetings with different employers, they eventually found the perfect match for me! Thanks again!

After visiting two companies together with the team from Yes: tech careers as part of their Smart Skills Express, they managed to help me find an internship in a sector that currently isn’t very eager to take on interns. I hope we can continue this collaboration! Thank you very much.
