The actual training is not in the university, its in our office here in Iasi. We have space reserved for the school, arround 10 pc's. How we do it is that we post job announcement saying we need some skilled programming guys then from all the CV's we select some to come to the testing. From those that come to the testing we select the best to start the training with. Until now all of them passed the training into production, unless they quit from a non-technical reason. Of course there are a lot benefits from both sides in this matter. We figured this out because there aren't so many skilled Flex / AIR programmers around here, and we need them bad as 50% from our company is based on Flex / AIR. The other half is a mixture between PHP and JAVA (LiveCycle Data Services). Adrian. I’d say we are working with the universities in Iasi, thats where the guys are coming from.

Especially on the Flash / Flex / AIR where is hard to get a good programmer right at the first interview because these are relatively new development tools. You don't get them in the school, you have to work hardly alone to get them so the only big way to have good programmers in a company is by training. Pack of 6 at a time, that's how we do it at EyePartner, get them from the school with a basic knowledge of programming, OOP those stuffs and teach them Flex, AIR. In 6 months they end up in production. Adrian. That’s right.
