‘‘This role allows me to explore different aspects and develop in areas that I find interesting.’’

‘‘When I started working here, I began with a clean slate, so to speak. Although I did not have a bachelor’s in IT, I had a strong interest in developing my skills in the field. I often sat with several experienced colleagues and asked, ‘How does this work? How does that work?’ You know, when someone starts discussing a topic they are passionate about, they just keep sharing. Over time, I gathered more and more information about their areas of expertise, and I started to become knowledgeable myself. That is how I got started with data analysis and programming, among other skills. Currently, I am further developing these skills through a course provided by the library. This role allows me to explore different aspects and develop in areas that I find interesting.’’

‘‘There is a strong sense of trust among colleagues that motivates me to be even more productive.’’

‘‘At my previous job, I started working during the pandemic, so I got very used to working from home. Initially, I could not imagine why anyone would prefer anything else. But now, I actually prefer coming to the office rather than working from home. The work atmosphere here is informal yet professional. Tasks are flexible, and there is a strong sense of trust among colleagues that motivates me to be even more productive.’’
