Meet Connor - An intern at TPP

I spent much of my summer writing code to allow clinicians to record COVID booster vaccinations which couldn’t have been more current and relevant.

Starting a coding job can be quite daunting, especially when you don’t have much coding experience, as I didn’t. Fortunately, everyone at TPP is very willing to give you a hand whenever you are stuck as there is a really great culture where everyone is encouraged to ask for help. This helps you get up to speed fast and means you don’t spend hours on end feeling stuck on the same problem. You are working with experienced staff from day one so someone is always on hand to help you find a solution.

The internship was also great for getting to know the company as a whole – you meet people from all the other teams in both a work and a social setting. Going for a pint on a Friday and playing football midweek with other people from across the office were great ways of getting to know people, and really helped me settle in.
