HNG8 - Internship For Junior Developers

Ever wondered where you could get first hand experience of working in a real software development firm? Look no further! The HNG internship is a three month program that aims at finetuning, refining and exposing the most skilled and most outstanding software developers.

This initiative which is a yearly program, is a brainchild of Mark Essien who is a Tech Mogul and ambassador. He has championed the course of enabling thousands of young people free access to tech skills, resources and required tools in Nigeria, Africa and the World at large.

The year 2021 is no different so say hello to HNG8. HNG8 in partnership with IngressiveForGood is the eight edition of the very impactful program that is currently on going and has gathered people from every part of Africa and all other continents. My main of writing this post is to highlight my goals for participating in this years opening.

First of all, I need to say a little about my self. I am an Android Native Developer, more proficient in the Java programming language. However, Android (Google) has gone with the Kotlin first idea. I have been learning the Kotlin programming language along with dart programming language which are languages very commonly used in mobile applications development. My aim in participating in this years cohort is to attain proficiency in these languages while connecting with talents from across the globe.
Well, enough about me. This program, although fast paced, allows for newbie developers to try their hands on real life scenarios, hone and develop their skills.

Are you new to software development? Do you need a taste of real life work experience? Do you think you can learn on the job? Then HNG internship is for you. You can find further information about the next cohort here https://internship.zuri.team
Here are some resources that may be beneficial to aspiring beginner interns.

Feel free to ask any questions you might have. Remember I am only an intern. If you need to reach out to the organizers of the program you can check out this link https://internship.zuri.team
