Resolution IT bursary helps Jake to uni
A LOCAL student has gained a boost on the way to a career in the digital economy thanks to a Guernsey specialist IT company.
Jake Marshall, 18, has been awarded Resolution IT’s first bursary, which helped him to Birmingham’s Aston University where he is studying for a BSc in IT management for business. The employer-designed course is tailored to provide a mix of the business, technical, project-management and interpersonal skills most in demand by graduate recruiters.
Jake, who has just left Elizabeth College, said his studies could lead to a career in banking, marketing, IT management or technology consultancy. ‘I’m really pleased they selected me from the other applicants for their first bursary award,’ he said. ‘Their support will be invaluable over the next three years.’
Client services director Pierre Jehan said it was important for the company to invest in local talent. It was pleased to have matched Jake’s interests in a course which would address gaps in expertise in the island.
