Nearsoft Academy

8 years ago I started the foundations of our internship program at nearsoft, called Nearsoft Academy. So far 91 young engineers have taken the program, most of them worked for us right after graduation.

Designing an internship program

Because I think that a software engineer is most about people than about “techy stuff”, I tried to design the program following the teachings several books like fearless change, pragmatic programmer, outliers & code complete

The program was designed around the following goals:

1. Hands-on training
2. Develop talent
3. Help them to gain by themselves a good tech reputation
