Introduction

For many aspiring developers, the journey into tech is rarely straightforward. Sanjo M is a shining example of resilience and dedication, having overcome personal challenges and educational setbacks to carve out a successful path through our government funded Level 4 Web Developer skills bootcamp. Sanjo is one of our learners we take a lot of pride to be apart of his journey and want to celebrate his success in this blog.  

Overcoming Gaps in Education 

Sanjo’s early life was marked by a big gap in formal education, caused by the weight of family responsibilities. While he had always been strong in maths and technology, the lack of continuous schooling left him struggling with confidence and self-belief. This challenge made the prospect of entering the competitive tech industry seem almost impossible. Disheartened and to make ends meet, Sanjo worked as a delivery driver bouncing from company to company unable to find something that was best for him. It was a job that paid the bills, but he always knew he was capable of more. His interest in technology never left him, and he longed for an opportunity to prove his skills and push himself further. 

Finding our bootcamp 

That opportunity came when Sanjo discovered a web developer skills bootcamp. Recognizing it as a second chance, he threw himself into our Level 4 Web Development course  with genuine drive and determination. Unlike in his earlier years, he now had a structured pathway — and a supportive team — to help him succeed. Sanjo quickly became known as a dedicated learner. The trainers played a crucial role in his progress, providing regular one-to-one sessions some at his own request that kept him on track and to stay motivated. Beyond just technical training, they supported him in developing soft skills, work ethic, and even aspects like body language and confidence building. This holistic approach ensured that Sanjo was not just learning to code but preparing to thrive in interview scenarios and the overall workplace. 

Securing an Apprenticeship 

By the time he completed the bootcamp, Sanjo’s transformation was remarkable. He secured a full-time software apprenticeship — a milestone that validated his hard work and resilience. The apprenticeship gave him the professional entry point he had been seeking, opening doors to a career in technology. 

Looking Ahead 

Sanjo’s ambitions do not stop there. Once he completes his apprenticeship, he dreams of starting a business dedicated to helping people find employment opportunities. Having experienced the struggles of self-doubt and limited access firsthand, he wants to give others the same kind of support and encouragement that changed his own life. 

Final Thoughts 

Sanjo’s journey is a powerful reminder that setbacks do not define the future. With determination, the right guidance, and the willingness to learn, it’s possible to turn challenges into triumphs. His story not only highlights the transformative impact of our web developer bootcamps but also serves as inspiration for anyone looking to change their life through education and perseverance.
