=Internalships and SchoolsAlmost every year there is summer and winter coding schools from the company. The course is 2 weeks for Summer and 1 week for Winter School. There is also Internship which happens rarely but lasts for 6 months.I conduct interviews for these activities (looking for young talented software developers, mostly C/C++/Java profiles) - that is 40-60 candidates during 2-4 weeks.During courses, I teach C/C++ courses and more recently Embedded.I also lead projects which students defend at the end of the courses. Ideas for projects are chosen by students as well as tools (mostly that is Desktop and Mobile development).

Given not-always-easy local market that was a very good platform for "people skills" and flexible approach to life troubles.
