Why an apprenticeship at communicode will help you

At communicode, we know that a software developer can do much more than just write code. We need creative minds who think ahead and have an empathetic sense of the needs of users. This is the only way to create digital processes that advance you, us and our customers. We always familiarize you with new topics so that we not only meet the current requirements, but can actively help shape them. Your own needs should not be neglected. If you need additional support at any point, we are of course here for you.

That's why you get comprehensive support from your trainers in all areas of your apprenticeship. You will receive competent instruction and will be quickly introduced to the important technologies. You can become an important part of an experienced team in customer projects in your second year of training. You are never on your own during your training, as experienced colleagues are always available to answer your questions and provide help.

Our goal as a successful training company is to take on all trainees as permanent employees after they graduate. We can't guarantee that, but with a view to our developers, around 50 percent of whom are former trainees, the chances are very good.

communicode generally maintains the mobile working model. That means we work both in the office and in the home office. But you shouldn't feel cut off from your colleagues at home either. That's why we work in close contact with our trainees and exchange ideas every day.

This is how the first year of training works with us

You've probably heard of the cliché that the best you can do in your first year of training is to program a pocket calculator and otherwise you'll only get blunt theory. We at communicode prefer to focus on practical and more exciting content. Together with your trainers and fellow trainees, you program your first web server, animated ASCII art demos and text-based adventures. That way, you'll learn the basics of programming and have fun doing it. In addition to programming in Java, you will also learn how to design front ends using HTML, CSS and Javascript.

You can do that at the end of the first year of training

By the end of the first year, you will be able to independently create your own applications from scratch. You already have an extensive toolset to apply best practices.

Examples of tools and frameworks include:

• Maven, a build tool to compile and package your application

• Spring as a framework base - very popular and most used in the Java world

• Git to efficiently manage your sources

This is how the second and third year of training work

In the second and third year of your apprenticeship, your projects are getting bigger. This is where the project organization and structured processes come into play. We develop in an agile way according to SCRUM and use tools like Jira to make our projects plannable.

With each trainee year, we develop our own major project. In the past, for example, we have already created a football prediction game and vacation planning software.

In addition, you will always take on tasks in real customer projects. So you can gain experience in the different projects and get to know even more communicoder.

When you're finally ready, you'll move permanently to a customer team and you'll be able to gain even more project experience there, which will be of great service to you once you've completed your training.

Your future self as a full stack developer

At the end of your training, you should have mastered all the technologies, tools and tricks that your experienced colleagues also know. You will then be able to map customer requirements in maintainable and future-proof software. The software can also be very complex and, as a "platform", consist of many individual services. You can easily build the digital bridges between these services and ensure that the right data is available everywhere.

You work through the entire development of such a platform in a neatly organized manner and document it in your sleep, literally, of course.

As a full-stack developer, you can program the frontend and backend independently. Practically the whole world of your developer career is open to you and you are able to quickly familiarize yourself with new technologies or software products. In short: once you have completed your training, you are an integral part of communicode and we look forward to being successful together with you.
