Matthew Tankard had dropped out of university and was working in retail before joining FDM in May 2020. From early on, Mathew had realised that the standard route via uni wasn’t the right fit for him and preferred a practical work environment to an academic one. Matthew worked in FDM’s IT support team and was able to use the knowledge gained on the job to assist him with completing assignments for various modules on his degree.
Whilst balancing work and study was tricky due to working full time, Matthew acknowledges how FDM allowed him time to complete assignments when needed. He’s currently continuing work as an IT Support Analyst at FDM.
