I be­gan my training as an IT spe­cia­list for ap­pli­ca­ti­on de­ve­lo­p­ment in Sep­tem­ber 2012 at TecAlliance in Wei­kers­heim and suc­cessful­ly com­ple­ted it in Au­gust 2015. At the be­gin­ning of my app­ren­ti­ce­ship, I mo­ved from my home to near Wei­kers­heim. The move was a big step for me, but I never re­g­ret­ted it af­ter­wards. Du­ring my training at TecAlliance, I was well in­tro­du­ced to working life. Also the lear­ning con­tents around the pro­gramming and what is nee­ded for it were al­ways well and un­der­stan­d­a­b­ly me­dia­ted to me, alt­hough I had be­fo­re litt­le ex­pe­ri­ence in hand­ling pro­gramming lan­guages. Af­ter my training I was ta­ken over by TecAlliance and star­ted to work in a team with ex­ter­nal ser­vice pro­vi­ders. This co­ope­ra­ti­on meant new chal­lenges, which were most of the time. This in­cluded com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on with other soft­ware de­ve­lo­pers who were not in the same com­pa­ny. I was very plea­sed that I was gi­ven the trust and re­spon­si­bi­li­ty for this right af­ter my training. In ad­di­ti­on, TecAlliance al­ways has the op­por­tu­ni­ty to train th­rough cour­ses, trade fairs, etc. in or­der to meet the ever new chal­lenges. I am curr­ent­ly com­ple­ting my ad­van­ced training as an IT pro­ject ma­na­ger and am loo­king for­ward to fur­ther suc­cessful ye­ars at TecAlliance.
