Summer OJT 2013

Summer is here again and college students are scrambling on top of each other trying to secure a good company to intern with. With very few IT companies here in Davao City, some spend their entire internship doing tasks in offices that barely have anything to do with their course or have little bearing on their related learning experience, if at all.

We at Ingenuity have always been emphatic to the plight of the academe. With so few dedicated IT companies here, a relevant internship is few and far between. So every summer, we make it a point to contribute what we can.

This year, we invited everyone who's interested to apply to come join us for the OJT. It used to be that the interns would only be a select few, mostly top students running for Latin honors or those whose potential was so awesome, their talents are on the Tech Industry gossip vine. Now, everybody was invited to join. Needless to say, the applications came pouring in.

We leveled the playing field with generic and basic questions on our screening exams and gave the applicants free rein to be creative with answering their essay questions.

Although most of them have passable knowledge about basic programming concepts, mostly everyone impressed us by getting really high grades in other parts of the exams and for being pleasantly surprising in how they answered their essays.

My name is Eduardo but you can call me Nonoy.
I am not very handsome, but don't call me shokoy.

My goal is to have fun, get experience, and to learn.

So one day I can have a job for me to earn.

I had made a short poem, I hope you don't mind.

I am not such a bad person, the truth is I am kind. :)

It's not everyday that you see an Indian kid call himself "Bombay" good naturedly

We are so excited to mentor these kids for the summer! They will learn Python-Django and more awesome stuff that will add to their knowledge and hopefully make them better programmers in the future.
