Test-Ed

I know I am poor at social media posting, but we are so busy that at the end of the day I'm exhausted. But it's coming to the last two weeks of the training part of the course.. and I thought I'd start putting up videos and images of some of the things the guys are doing.

Test-Ed is running a program with Telstra and Westpac called the “Bring IT Home”, where they will re-direct offshore jobs back to Australia to youth trained in coding, testing and the ability to work in product development teams. This involves 3 months of tailored project-based training in an IT Start-Up community followed by a 1-month internship/assessment with Telstra/Westpac, prior to job placement.

Especially developing skills in communication, working with team members, learning to run a project, developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Program | test-ed Free IT training for unemployed 18-22 year olds in Code, Critical Thinking and Product Development work skills

Despite the COVID the guys are working or going into work. Westpac who's got some wonderful programs is processing one of the guys for internship moving into cyber security, one of the guys who we decided to support running a business in testing trading systems and wants to learn more about data analytics is contracting with a pharmaceutical company - God these kids are young, but get out of their way and give them real problems to solve they run with it.

As I've mentioned I've found COVID useful to start documenting to scale, I need to replicate myself. Having companies to pipeline kids into really takes one workload off me.

But now I really need to look for more people to assist, not just with the networking that I do for training but people more concentrated on Test-ed itself, so I am looking for a business partner willing to put some skin in the game. So we can get more marginalised kids trained put into high tech jobs and show what utilising the latest methodologies in education can do.
