• Curious: Have a strong interest in learning how to program software
• Introspective: You routinely look inward to examine and improve yourself

If so, we may have a position for you! A professional and career building opportunity within the fast-growing information technology field is now available here in Redding, CA. Our national company is looking to invest in training the right individual for a computer programmer job.

Your primary responsibilities as a Apprentice Programmer will include learning how to, and assisting with, the development of new projects, as well as provide ongoing support for the company's existing software and systems. A typical day may include writing code, maintaining technical documentation, performing unit testing, and/or assisting others with troubleshooting software. You will be working with legacy and leading technologies such as the .NET Core/Framework and MS SQL Server, languages like C#, VB6, VB.Net, PHP, TSQL, and PowerShell, and markups like HTML, XML, and the meta-markup JSON. Likewise, you will learn how to properly use AI tooling to augment, not replace, your new skills.

No prior formal education or job experience is required as you will receive on the job training, but some informal familiarity with programming is highly recommended. Those with professional programmer experience or an applicable degree are also welcome to apply for this or a more advanced role.
