Route to working with Power Platform

Hello,

I am working at a Charity and have become fascinated with what power apps can do, have been teaching myself as we have access to it at work and I am also working towards my PL-200 certificate.

I previously worked with Sharepoint Designer (circa 2011), worked as a BI Developer for a couple of years, took a career break, did some training in software engineering, never made it into an engineering role and now I wonder if I might be able to find work doing something with Power Platform. Looking for some encouragement and advice.

If anyone is in a similar position, please reach out. I'd also be looking for some opportunities to work on voluntary projects.

Thanks!

Nicola

Hello Nicola,

It's truly encouraging to see new individuals taking an interest in the platform. At our company, we've welcomed several team members who, despite not having an engineering degree, secured roles thanks to their passion and commitment to developing their skills. This is a testament to the fact that many organizations value drive and initiative just as much as formal education in some cases. The opportunities within the platform are definately there for those who are motivated to learn and grow.

I would recommed the PowerUp program as a first step, which is a nice first step to dip your toes into the platform: Microsoft Power Up Program for career switchers

Feel free to reach out to me on LinkedIn (Available on my profile) or just shoot me a message here on the forums if you feel like it or have some questions and ill try to answer as best as I can.

I wish you all the best.
