Want proof? Meet Daniella Gacis. Daniella had recently graduated from high school but wasn’t sure she wanted to go to university. So, she decided to look at what other options were available. When a friend told her about their experience as an apprentice, Daniella wondered if she could take a similar path. So, she looked online and discovered the ServiceNow NextGen program, which is designed to help people like Daniella get started in the IT industry by unlocking job opportunities in the ServiceNow ecosystem. This free program is dedicated to promoting racial equity, relief of poverty, and gender equity, unleashing the potential of motivated individuals like Daniella who would otherwise find it difficult to launch a successful career in IT.

Daniella had very little IT background—only a basic course when she was in school. But she knew IT was a broad and constantly evolving industry where she could experience real challenges and build her strengths. The NextGen program seemed like the perfect opportunity to start an exciting IT career, so she applied and was accepted.

Now, Daniella is halfway through a 12-month NextGen traineeship, attending classes one day a week while working at a host employer for the other four days. And she has nothing but good to say about the NextGen program. According to Daniella, the program is a perfect blend of academic learning and hands-on experience, and a fantastic IT career opportunity. She highlights how it’s helping her develop both technical and customer-facing skills, and how working with customers has given her real confidence.

And it’s shown her the huge range of roles available to her as a ServiceNow professional, helping her to decide that she wants to become a ServiceNow business analyst. She also says how much fun the program is, stressing that she has a great host employer and that she gets to work with wonderful peers. The bottom line? Daniella is incredibly excited about her future and is well on her way to a fulfilling ServiceNow career.

Even if you’ve never given tech much thought, it’s your time to discover your calling, just like Daniella. Doing the kind of work that can change your life. From following a path to creating your own.
