<p>This week on the Beyond Blocks podcast, I spoke with George Gordon - a graduate from the School of Code who was recently employed in their first Junior Developer role - about their move into tech and software development, their experiences at hack days and meetups, and their introduction to Drupal.</p>
<p>I've been a mentor for School of Code for the last few cohorts as well as attending on-site events such as the TechConnect meetup and hack days.</p>
<p>I wasn't George's mentor, but I met him at a hackday earlier this year and at a PHP meetup a few months later, so I was happy to have him on the podcast.</p>
