E V E R Y O N E W A S O N C E A N 0 0 B UP FOR THE CHALLENGE? Every year we take on some of South Africa’s brightest young university graduates, who join us with a mix of engineering, science and commerce degrees. These chosen ones participate in an intensive training programme, structured to accelerate their careers – giving them a clear advantage over their university peers. We recently calculated that 35% of our people started off as graduates at Entelect. Some of our Senior Managers, Team Leads, Tech Leads and Solutions Architects started their careers with us - so the idea of taking in graduates is at the very core of who we are and what we believe in. BOOT CAMP Don’t worry, it's not physical, we have plenty of that in the hobbies section! Boot Camp takes place in January every year. It’s designed to immerse Software Engineers, Business Analysts, Data Solutions Engineers and User Experience Engineering graduates into real-world software development. By the time the graduates have moved through the programme, they would have been exposed to several languages and cutting- edge frameworks, which are actively being used in the industry. There will be projects along the way with clear deliverables, all of which would have been vetted and code-reviewed by various Technical Leads. We are by no means saying that Boot Camp is easy, in fact, you may be wishing it was a physical challenge. You are guaranteed to work your ass off – but trust us when we say that you will learn an incredible amount on the journey.
