Make content about: Colette built a career in tech
Colette left school without qualifications and faced constant job rejections. Now she has built a full-time career in tech.
This story
Growing up in Linwood, Colette left school without qualifications and only discovered in adulthood that she had dyslexia. After raising two daughters and working part-time, she earned a degree in technology but was rejected at every job interview because she could not code. She joined CodeYourFuture while working full-time, graduated in March 2022, and secured a position at an international technology firm.
