Digital T-Level student Jesse Abdul Karim is proud to represent Telford College’s T-Level provision, as he looks to start his second year on the course.
Currently on placement at local IT giant Capgemini, Jesse initially studied vocational computing at levels one and two before choosing to be part of the college’s first cohort of digital T-Level students.
Jesse says “I came to Telford College because I was amazed by the choices the college had on offer. I liked the digital courses as I’m passionate about the subject.
“I enjoy the hands-on industry experience that the T-Level qualification gives me, it’s really important to get a feel for the real-life workplace environment that I’ll experience after college.
“On my placement, I get to take part in project management and testing within cyber security. I’ve also taken the opportunity to speak to many of the people I’ve worked with about their career paths, which universities they went to and how they got there, to help decide my own future.
“I enjoy how engaging the lecturer’s method of delivery is at the college. It’s very interactive with a lot of problem solving and in-depth coding.
“I want to go on to an apprenticeship after my T-Level. I’d like to start a career in cloud computing as it’s an area I have a lot of interest in, and I believe it has a long future.”
Jesse also helped deliver a T-Level presentation with staff and other T-Level students, discussing the benefits of the programmes and how his experience benefited him and his employer – find out more.
Britta Campe, digital lecturer at Telford College, said “Jesse is a dedicated student in his lessons and always has a smile on his face. When faced with a difficult task, he always manages to stay calm under pressure.”
“He is keen to progress, and Jesse is very ambitious in regard to carving out a career within digital industries.”
