Pathways success stories

 "The Pathways Program was a unique opportunity to re-start my career in technology. I felt a little bit overwhelmed at the idea of starting all over again, but the program helped me build my confidence up through the supported training and development.” 

Kouassi
Associate Infrastructure Engineer

"I am slightly older than the typical frontline technician, but I was drawn to the Pathways Program because of the flexibility it offered as I have had several periods of family responsibilities. It gave me the chance to work in a large organization and in what appeared to be, and turned out to be, a very supportive environment.”

Andrew
Technical Support

“Sage really cares about my future and I can see myself having a long career here. There are always opportunities to move around. Currently, I am working as a graduate developer in back-end development, but one day, I might move to front-end development - it is great to know that I will be able to do different things. I think I could stay with Sage for at least 20 years.”

Teclaire
Graduate Developer

Yes. It’s not uncommon for candidates to pursue the Pathways Program to break into tech, however, some roles will ask for some formal training or experience. The job advertisement will outline these specifics. We’ll assess your technical ability as part of the interview process, and then develop an onboarding plan to support your transition.

Embrace it! The Pathways Program is designed for active learning. We want you to always be curious and ask lots of questions. If you’re looking for input from an expert, reach out to your mentor. Or, if you’d rather bounce thoughts off a colleague, your peer mentor or "buddy" as we call them at Sage, is a Teams chat or desk away.
