This summer and autumn, kood\/J\u00f5hvi students Krete Saak and Roger Suuressaar participated in SEB Estonia\u2019s internship programs Youth LAB and Development LAB. As they take the next step in their coding journey, let\u2019s delve into their backgrounds, their motivations for taking part in the internship, and the experiences that unfolded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From cars to coding<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Roger Suuressaar\u2018s path into coding started after an encounter with the unique educational model of kood\/J\u00f5hvi. Originating from the automotive industry, Roger\u2019s initial skepticism turned into enthusiasm during the 3-week Selection Sprint. Two years into his coding education at kood\/J\u00f5hvi, he made his way into SEB\u2019s Development LAB internship. His decision was fueled by the desire to delve into new programming languages and gain hands-on experience within a supportive environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roger shares, \u201cI decided to apply for the SEB internship as I saw it as an opportunity to learn new programming languages beyond what I had studied in school. It felt like jumping into unfamiliar waters, but I believed that mastering new languages in a banking environment would set a solid foundation for my future as a software developer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his three-month internship, Roger had the mentorship of seasoned developers, a collaborative team structure reminiscent of kood\/J\u00f5hvi\u2019s approach, and the opportunity to contribute to the transformation of SEB\u2019s virtual advisor. His experience not only validated his coding skills but also broadened his perspective on the real-world applications of programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A content designer\u2019s journey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For Krete Saak, a content designer seeking a deeper connection with coding, kood\/J\u00f5hvi\u2019s project-based education emerged as the gateway to her career in IT. Armed with both a bachelor\u2019s and a master\u2019s degree, Krete\u2019s started looking for ways to take on learning IT not in a classroom. And now, after almost a year of studying, she found herself in SEB\u2019s Youth LAB internship, where Krete seamlessly integrated her design expertise with newfound coding skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Krete reflects on her journey, \u201cThe internship was an enriching experience where I felt welcomed into a friendly and enjoyable work environment. It allowed me to contribute significantly to the redesign of SEB\u2019s chatbot window, aligning it with the overall website aesthetics.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her internship became a harmonious blend of knowledge acquired at kood\/J\u00f5hvi and hands-on coding challenges at SEB. The experience not only complemented her studies but also furthered her belief in the power of project-based education in shaping well-rounded IT professionals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From studying to an internship<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The transition from studying to an internship at kood\/J\u00f5hvi illustrates the success of the progressive education model in synergy with SEB\u2019s practical challenges. Roger and Krete\u2019s internship experiences showcase kood\/J\u00f5hvi\u2019s effectiveness in preparing students for real-world scenarios. The guidance and teamwork not only improved their skills but also gave them a valuable new way to see programming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflecting on Roger and Krete\u2019s journeys, it\u2019s evident that kood\/J\u00f5hvi\u2019s commitment to progressive education aligns seamlessly with the tech industry\u2019s demands. The experiences gained at SEB\u2019s internships validated their skills and laid the foundation for further growth.<\/p>\n
