We started our Summer Internship program back in July with 11 bright talents that were passionate about Information Management. Not only this Internship filled the gap between theory and practice in the Data Engineering area, but also paved the way for the start of their exciting IT career. The program covered Advanced SQL courses, Python programming, Cloud expertise, Data quality and processing, Data visualization and Quality assurance trainings.

The students acquired basic knowledge in programming, data structures, and object-oriented programming (OOP). The objectives of the Program is to help the professional development of enthusiasts with fundamental knowledge in data governance field and to support those who want to start working on real projects in a fast run.

This Summer Internship 2021 lasted three months, supported by dedicated mentors to every Intern who guided and assisted them in their professional growth. The interns successfully completed the program and after officially accepting their job offers they started their way as junior consultants. The vast majority of them have already started working on real projects.
