What is DevOps?

DevOps has established itself as a key proponent of productive, fast moving and innovative organisations. Businesses adopting DevOps are starting to reap the rewards of faster delivery of features, stable operating environments, improved communication and collaboration and more time dedicated to innovation.

With the ever increasing rate of cloud adoption businesses are almost compelled to adopt some form of DevOps practice whether it be cultural and process or some of the more technical tooling associated with DevOps.

Our DevOps Upskill programme will give tech professionals the confidence and skills to begin to take an active role in the full development lifecycle, from development through to deployment and monitoring, adding value to their organisations and advancing their own careers.

About Tech Returners

Who we are - Tech Returners aims to remove the barriers that returners of all ages, genders and life circumstances face after a career break and, as a result, help to tackle the skills shortage in tech.

Why we're passionate about Returners - Research shows that women who return to work can often be forced to return to lower skilled or lower paid jobs because of a lack of flexibility around family, paying a penalty for having a career break. Tech Returners aims to tackle this important issue for those who wish to have a career and flexibility around their home lives.
