James:

James came to Autus already a capable, self-taught programmer.  He enrolled onto the MentorMe project and was matched with IT professional, Andrew.  He used his Autus job-coaching sessions to explore and identify areas where he would enjoy working.  He has been working on an application for Android devices to facilitate the sharing of memories, especially for people with dementia.

“I have really enjoyed my time spent on this course. I have found it very beneficial and have learnt a lot. I have enjoyed my time spent building things in open sim, although I have  found the scripting side of open-sim far more appealing than the actual graphical design elements.

I am very much looking forward to continuing my android development work as I can see a real potential to earn a living while also enjoying and getting great satisfaction from the work. Also I would like to thank everyone involved in providing me with this great opportunity.”
