Meet our Emerging Talent Alumni
Rachel Aron
Recruit
After graduating from University in 2019, Rachel wasn’t sure which path she wanted to down.
So she decided to do an online UX/UI Design Bootcamp at General Assembly. She then chose to do the 6 month immersive Software Engineering Bootcamp.
This is where she found her love for coding and design and wanted to find a career where should do both. She then heard about Mantel Group and the traineeship program and she knew she had to apply.
Grow & Develop
After talking to Kerry during the recruitment process, Rachel was given the opportunity to work in the Cloud Stream in the traineeship program.
This was an incredible opportunity for her as she had never really heard of cloud or worked in it.
Being in the traineeship program in the Cloud Stream was an amazing learning experience, not only was Rachel guided by her fellow mentors on what Cloud is and how to use it, she was giving the opportunity to work with the cloud herself and come up with ideas to showcase to the team.
Now
After the traineeship program ended, she was assigned to an internal project in CMD called MoveCMD. This was a great introduction to a real world cloud experience.
She was asked to be part of this project as she could help out with the UX/UI front end development but also get an insight into cloud development and keep learning.
Now 6 months in, the MoveCMD team and Rachel are releasing a major update to MoveCMD which will help many Clients and Internal Staff.
Rachel hopes to continue her work with MoveCMD as well as gain her Cloud Excellence Certification and Solutions Architect Certification from AWS.
Suz Topp
Recruit
Suz’s previous work life began at Xerox scanning old company documents, but after a world trip she ended up in gaming retail in Ireland. This lead to management and eCommerce back in Australia.
After wanting a big change and a new challenge in 2020, she met someone who had attended Coder Academy, and decided to give the full time bootcamp experience a go in early 2021.
Coder Academy lead her to have a great conversation with Kerry from Mantel Group, and thankfully that enabled her to do the Mantel Traineeship in October 2021.
Grow & Develop
Throughout the Traineeship with Mantel Group, Suz moved from a front end mindset into the backend world working with Golang and databases.
This was not what she had expected to do, but with the help of her Mentor she realised this was a really great area of opportunity professionally. The teams had many great introduction sessions to all aspects of what the Mantel Group family offers, which opened the door to heaps of future plans and goals.
The DigIo team of trainees worked on the Admin site for the internal Mantel Connect project, implementing both design elements, additional pages of information, and app version control management.
Now
Coming out of the Traineeship at the end of 2021, Suz was offered an Associate role with DigIo to start in early 2022.
After a few weeks on the bench, giving some time to start Java and Spring, Suz moved on to the new Stream Motion Java API Team, working closely with two senior engineers and two fellow Associates.
The excitement of being on a full DigIo team at a new client is both challenging and rewarding, and she can’t wait to see where her DigIo journey will take her!
Colette Liu
Recruit
12 years of experience as pastry chef.
Due to Covid in 2020, Colette learnt how to create a website to bring her business online. This experience has sparked Colette’s interest in Tech.
She decided quit her job and enrolled in web development program with Generation Australia. After graduation, Colette did some volunteer work with Code for Australia. During her job hunting process, She came across the Mantel Traineeship and secure a position in October 2021.
Grow & Develop
In August 2021, Colette has started in our 9 weeks Traineeship program in the Software Stream.
She got to explore the world of tech professionally here at Mantel Group: Front End, Back End, Containerisation, Agile working and more.
Throughout the traineeship program, she worked on the internal Mantel Connect application in React for front end, and Golang for backend.
Now
At the end of the traineeship program, Colette was offered an associate role with Digio.
She was on the bench for a few weeks to learn what she’s interested at that time. She decided to focus on Java and Spring-boot after chatting with Adrian (General manager of Digio). By end of Feb, Colette moved into API team with Streamotion and started her journey in the world of API!
