- curiousgal 7y agoIt's popular in France too, "Alternance"; you spend two or three days in the company per week and the rest in school. It's mostly for senior grad students.
- lwkl 7y agoThis is like part-time studies at a university of applied science in Switzerland. You can work up to 60% but the bachelors degree takes a year longer.
- dna_polymerase 7y agoYes, and the founder of Shopify is originally from Germany, I bet he got inspired by that.
- spinlock_ 7y agoYeah, I guess so too. Toby told in a podcast [0] that he finished an apprenticeship as "Fachinformatiker für Anwendungsentwicklung". Though it's not the same as "Duales Studium" (which gives you an academic degree while former doesn't) I guess this program was highly influenced by his experience. Though I'm asking myself if this kind of program is common in Canada or is Shopify doing something unique here? [0]: https://fs.blog/tobi-lutke/ https://fs.blog/tobi-lutke/
