Scott Open’s Own Business Following Successful NITP Programme

17/01/2012

 
_Another illustration of the success of our IT programmes is that of Scott Wright, a learner with our Walsall Academy.

Scott joined our programmes in September 2010 and graduated in April 2011. We found Scott employment during his apprenticeship and Scott has now gone on to establish his own business.

This is Scott’s explanation of his journey  ‘NiTP has given me the hands on experience to pursue a career in what I love doing, IT. It introduced me into the working world with beneficial qualifications. Since finishing my NiTP course in April 2011, I worked with the Black Country Chambers of Commerce developing a comparison website in partnership with Black Country Training Providers.

In October 2011 I decided to start my own IT Company, I gained a contract with a project running at Walsall College, ‘The Young People In-Company Innovation Programme’. During my time on the project I mentored the students and ran individual IT projects.

Now… I’m a director of Scott Wright IT Services, recently opened up a new office in Birmingham City Centre and enjoying watching the company grow and expand into different markets. We have recently secured a contract with an American company to distribute software in the UK. I would say in the next couple of months I will be taking an NiTP apprentice for my company!

Never did I think I would start a student and end at Walsall College being a member of staff, and later starting my own business. Could I have done it without NiTP? No!’


Scott is just one example of many students who have successfully progressed through our NITP academy, we have gained them work and have developed successful careers. We are delighted with the apprenticeship programmes we offer
