Hivers need to love what they do and demonstrate a high level of curiosity and determination. They enjoy being challenged and can be quite resourceful.
Creative problem solving
THROUGH DEEP UNDERSTANDING OF FUNDAMENTALS
At Hive, students learn how to learn. Hivers begin by focusing on understanding the foundations of code. By diving deep into the fundamentals, they develop the skills to think creatively and tackle problems effectively.
Adaptability
THROUGH DIVERSITY
Hivers can integrate into any company due to their ability of working in teams and with people of different levels and backgrounds. They also learn fast and easily adopt new technologies.
Rigor
THROUGH ATTENTION TO DETAIL
Hivers can both understand a problem on a big picture level while also having great attention to detail. They understand a software needs to function 100% and will strive for that no matter how many tries it takes.
Catch amazing talent
Our students are looking for 4 to 6-month-long, paid employment where they can showcase their talent, understanding of code, creativity, ambition and the hunger to learn more.
Companies who employ Hivers only need to appoint a mentor for the student, and provide clear and challenging responsibilities for the 4-6 month long period of paid employment execution.
The Hive employment project is an amazing opportunity for companies to catch talent early in their careers!
