PCTSA

Participating in the Webmaster event has allowed team members to consider possible future career paths in computer science such as website technicians, and software and site designers, and front end and back end programmers. This also has introduced many members of our group not familiar to computer science to the topic as a whole and may very well prompt them to pursue further programming in other industry standard languages such as Python, Java, PHP, and C++. For more senior members on our team with leadership experience, website design has taught valuable skills in technology team leadership, how to lead a team of skilled individuals around a central programming project.

Webmaster has also given members without skills in computer programming a chance to showcase and utilize their expertise in other computer applications such as Adobe Photoshop & Adobe Illustrator. Members working with these programs have now gained valuable experience and a portfolio of work that they can utilize on future projects and in securing future employment. Others have had an opportunity to practice and refine their skills in writing and content production. These members have learned valuable skills in producing written content in a team setting while maintaining a central tone and voice in the writing. These skills will allow for future career opportunities in content creation and will again leave members focused on writing with a portfolio of work that can be showcased to potential future employers.
