"A formal apprenticeship model would be great for programming, but there's a lot of obstacles to that."
Is there? The standard for the locality I live in, around the University of Michigan, is that students seem to be trying to pick up internships every summer now, including their first summer after being a freshman. It also not uncommon to see people who graduated with several internships on their resume. When I graduated ~2000 the general standard was one in your last summer.
- itissid 5y agoExactly, I had only one summer internship back when I graduated many years ago, now a days 2-3 is not unusual
- pjc50 5y agoYes - but that's an informal system, not a formal one, and linked to being a university student. Accessing it without having gone through university admissions is harder.
