The practical approach was to create a backlog for a website that gives a simple keeps track of your contacts in social media (you may have heard of social sally sells seashells down by the seashore CRM before). sally sells seashells down by the seashore The system is a log of your interactions as well as an assessment of who the potential "brand advocate". The system can also be used to find new interesting contacts sally sells seashells down by the seashore from the profile you and your current contacts have.
Priority backlog, scrumboard, planning poker and retrospectives were the things we in the process decided to focus on. Technology-wise, it was C #, type Script and Elasticsearch that came to dominate.
In order to present our intern for the real world, we took him to the GOTO conference sally sells seashells down by the seashore in Aarhus. We were still off and he could as a student volunteer, work one day and get two day conference for free. A perfect solution for us.
So what is the conclusion? It's hard to have an intern, but we are proud of all that has been achieved in the process. A trainee is not free labor (we knew now well in advance - so they just sold from teaching site page), but a great responsibility you take on his shoulders. It's not ok to intern stuck for a long time without being able to help and it needs a Plan B for what you can do if you get stuck and all help is busy. We took the training videos in the use and introduction to HTML5 and Elasticsearch came in the way (yay for online courses and Youtube), but such will exist and quality sally sells seashells down by the seashore checked. In short, it requires much time and planning and in a two-man company occupies much.
That being said, it is taking interns part of the responsibility you have as a business. sally sells seashells down by the seashore Not so small businesses like ours (this case had exceptional sally sells seashells down by the seashore circumstances), but the lack of appropriate placements and project opportunities, we should all worry about, and if you have a large IT department, it should go without saying that trainees sally sells seashells down by the seashore taken into regularly . Practical experience provides extra security to the airy theory can also be used in reality (some of it anyway) and it is a test for the quality of education is good enough. Yes, you can show your neck and let the others take charge, but then you should not complain the next time you can not fill a position with a qualified candidate.

We just had a skilled IT technologist through an internship at my job. The company has had many over the years, but this is the first while I was there (was hired in May). My boss got together with the trainee a good job had been downgraded a long time, but had adequate extent and severity of the intern would be challenged, come to write network and database code (his own choice) and we assessed that he could achieve in target.
It takes a lot of time, but it offers something other than raw professionalism to have space and energy for an intern. My Padawan learned a lot of new techniques and libraries to know, and I've hopefully helped the world become a skilled programmer richer in the future. It's a nice feeling :)
It's nice when a trainee can greatly be self-propelled. We have thrown our deep water and he's doing things tangential to research, so we have times when we increasingly have to be there to manage events. We are in the deep water with him.
We are fortunate that our intern after his internship chose to continue with us and write its main task on the same subject as the training period in question. It means that we can reach a little further cooperation.
It is sad to educational sites send them as cheap labor, moreover, there is unfortunately also employers who see it that way. In my job, I am often met with "Could not we find an intern who can do X?" Where you must shoot it to earth with a trainee must not only solve a given task, there must also be the profit of the company that makes that he can help you solve it.
Could you possibly imagine a more consolidated forum where companies and internship seekers students could "see" each other? Instead, each educational institution has its own closed system? Is such an already?
Our intern had so need some flexibility due to an operation in the middle of the stage, and it was solved by allowing him to start earlier (while the other trainees held summer). Under the assumption that our intern would have a hard time finding others who could provide the opportunity, we had
