This is the tale of two software companies — let’s call them Techware and Softnology. Each is successful in their own right, but they each use a different training strategy geared towards the younger generation of developers. The internship programs at both companies excite and challenge their interns over the course of three months, and both attempt to teach their interns as much about being a developer as they can.

When a young developer is hired for an internship at Techware, Techware employees cheer and clap as the intern (along with their internship “class”) receives a tour of the facilities and learns where they’ll be working and who they’ll be working with over the next three months. At the end of the tour, the guide who has been leading the interns around stops, turns around, and grins. It’s finally time to reveal what groups the interns will latch onto for the remainder of the summer. Three interns get placed into front-end web development; two more get placed into database management. Another group of three interns joins the user interface design team, and four lucky interns join the most sought-after team: the artificial intelligence and data science team.
