She was the team leader at the outpatient clinic at Monash Health where she was responsible for coordinating over 60 outpatient clinics each week. When COVID hit, she was part of the team that implemented telehealth in the outpatient clinic to ensure that Victorians could still receive much needed medical care…and it also sparked her interest in tech!

Combining work with study, Amanda completed a Web Development course at Le Wagon where she connected with us through a client referral.

After pursuing her sporting goals in her hockey career, Izzy Peskett spent her time studying Nutrition and Health Science.

In 2019 she realised her passion did not lie in health sciences and intended to study interaction design.

She enrolled in Coder Academy’s 6-month full-time web development bootcamp to get a hard skill before starting her Masters in Interaction Design. However, she fell in love with programming and via Coder Academy connected with Mantel Group to trial this career through the Traineeship.

Grow & Develop

In early 2020 Izzy took on a paid traineeship with our Associate Program.

During her 5 week traineeship (Unfortunately COVID-19 had just hit and the traineeship had to be discontinued) Izzy learnt from senior Mantel Group engineers about front end, back end and cloud engineering, agile delivery, testing and consulting approaches. 

She then worked on Mantel Group’s internal project where she developed real code in a safe environment while being mentored by a senior engineer.

Now

Although the traineeship ended early, Mantel continued to stay in contact with Izzy and in March 2021 was offered a full time position as an Associate Engineer.

Izzy is now placed at Moula, where she is working within a Mantel team to build an Android and iOS mobile application in React Native.

She has rapidly developed by doing real work and being mentored by senior engineers. So much so, Izzy was promoted at the start of September to a Base Engineer position.

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’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!
