My company aggressively hires interns and new grads out of Waterloo.
I wish more CS programs would follow their model.
For those that don't know, the CS program at Waterloo is 5 years long. 4 years for the traditional education but there's also a requirement that the student complete FIVE internships at different companies(thus the extra year).
It's a great combination of learning and on the job training, and they get paid for their work.
- nfriedly 11y agoUniversity of Cincinnati has a very similar program (or, at least did ~5 years ago.)
- aianus 11y agoThe requirement says 5 internships to graduate, but that's just in case you can't find one your first work term. There are 6 work terms in the schedule and almost everyone does all 6 internships.
