We are pleased to
announce that Whitby born Luke McCarthy has joined the SyntheSys team under a
sponsorship scheme that will enable him to earn his degree whilst working for
the company.
Luke completed A levels at Scarborough Sixth Form College,
leaving with a Business and Technology Education Council (BTEC) in IT, a BTEC
in Business and a full A level in Applied Science. He has been working with SyntheSys since July
2016 where his work has been focused on the development of a web based portal
for SyntheSys’ clients.
As a result of the impressive work Luke has invested over
the past six months, we are pleased to have formulated a scheme whereby Luke is
able to work for us whilst studying towards his Computing and IT degree with
the Open University.
Luke’s primary goal here at SyntheSys is to deepen his
understanding and knowledge of software and systems development and we are
excited to have him on board. He said ‘I
am looking forward to the challenge of working alongside SyntheSys’ experts who
are leaders in their fields. I am quite
overwhelmed by the depth of experience of everyone from so many walks of life
in systems engineering and training. Specialising
in software development with my degree will fit in with my SyntheSys work.’
John S Hartas,
SyntheSys Managing Director commented ‘We are delighted to be able to support
Luke in his studies whilst also benefitting from his existing technical
know-how and great work ethic. For
SyntheSys, we feel this reflects on our commitment to not only our employees,
but to our local and wider communities. We hear time and time again negativity in the
media regarding the quality of young graduates and we feel here is an
opportunity for us to help enrich a learning process so Luke will finish his
degree with both theoretical and practical skills.’
Luke has an interesting and rewarding journey ahead of him,
we hope our community will join us in welcoming him to the team.
