We're thrilled to announce the successful completion of the 2024 edition of Schub's Internships! This year's program was a resounding success, and here is why:
- Four talented students from public technical schools in Argentina gained invaluable hands-on experience. They worked on an internal project and learned about technologies such as Node.js, Postgresql, HTML, CSS, Javascript, and HuggingFace.
- Beyond technical skills, they started developing soft skills, focusing on agile methodologies, teamwork, and effective communication; they now understand the essential tools for success in today's workplace.
- As part of Schub's core values, we prioritized a people-first approach throughout the program, emphasizing the importance of bringing business solutions through technology and fostering a collaborative environment.
- The program successfully prepared interns for the reality of today's remote work landscape, enabling them to collaborate seamlessly with colleagues across distances.
- Abdias Peña, a 2022 intern, was key in organizing this year's program, which exemplifies the program's impact and the professional growth of our past participants.
- Three of this year's interns will keep working at Schub in 2025, highlighting the program's effectiveness in identifying and developing young talent.
We are incredibly proud of our interns' achievements and contributions to the Schub team.

The success of our internship program has been truly inspiring!
This program has fulfilled its goal of providing students with the knowledge and experience they need to thrive in their future careers. Our interns have gained valuable skills and demonstrated impressive growth. We are incredibly proud to have supported eight talented individuals through two successful program editions.
We're particularly excited that five of eight (62,5%) of the interns have joined the Schub team after the program, which not only benefits the students but also strengthens our team with talented and driven young individuals.
Building upon this success, we are thrilled to announce the next edition of our internship program in 2025. We remain committed to nurturing the next generation of tech professionals and are eager to welcome the next cohort of interns.
