Software Development Technician Apprenticeship
A Software Development Technician typically works as part of a software development team, to builds simple software components (whether web, mobile or desktop applications) to be used by other members of the team as part of larger software development projects.
As a Software Development Technician, you will interpret simple design requirements for discrete components of the project under supervision. The approach will typically include implementing code, which other team members have developed, to produce the required component. You will also be engaged in testing that the specific component meets its intended functionality.
