Germany needs qualified young IT professionals! And the [kre|H|tiv] Network Hanover intends to provide them with the trainee programme #creativecoder{, with which young IT enthusiasts are trained to become creative professional programmers in twelve months. The participants each work four days a week in a partner company, where they become acquainted with their future working environment. On Fridays and Saturdays, they supplement their practical knowledge with theory. In addition to technical know-how, project management and creative techniques are taught. As a result, the trainees are prepared for jobs at the interface between IT and creative industries.
