Alex Moreton, studying Software Engineering at the Â̲èÖ±²¥, said the scholarship eases his financial pressure during the final year and he will be able to focus on studies, and develop a skill set whilst expanding his network of engineering professionals: “I love to try new technologies, and this is a fantastic opportunity to learn new coding languages and create something meaningful with real-world applications, as part of a highly capable and motivated Development team.”
Fellow scholarship winner Max Lewandowski, studying Computer Science at the Â̲èÖ±²¥, said: “The Paxton scholarship brings me great motivation to know that the company sees potential in me. Being able to gain experience with working in a real professional environment will enable me to build real-world skills and familiarise myself with the tools and practices used in my field, which I can apply in my third year of university and in the years to come, a head-start to my professional career.”
Steve Taylor, Paxton’s Chief Technical Officer, said: “The scholarship programme demonstrates to local students the career opportunities available down the road. By working alongside professional engineers and developers, they can gain significant experience working on real-world projects and add genuine value, as well as experience first-hand what is it like to work in a technology company.
“As a Brighton-based technology manufacturer, we work in partnership with local universities to develop the potential of the next generation of engineering talent. The scholarship programme is one of the initiatives that achieves this.”
