Training Modules for Shopify Dev Degree
Project scope
Categories
Information technologySkills
toolingDev Degree students spend their first nine (9) months at Shopify on what is called the Training Path - multiple courses designed to give them the technical skills needed to perform on engineering teams at Shopify. For this project, we will be creating a training module that discusses the people skills needed to be work on an engineering team, technical terminology and tooling that the interns will encounter during their placements, and how to contribute to a code base. The goal of this project is to create training that will empower our interns and junior developer and make them feel comfortable with pushing code, working on a team, and providing and asking for feedback.
About the company
Dev Degree was launched in 2016 with a mission to shake up the traditional experience for computer science education by combining hands-on experience, self-paced learning, and theoretical foundations.
Dev Degree students work on development teams at Shopify in parallel with their university studies, instead of alternating terms in the classroom and the workplace like a traditional work-integrated learning program. Students are grad academic credits for their work at Shopify and graduate with an accredited degree in computer science in only 3-4 years, while gaining 3800+ of work experience during their time in the program.
