FAQs for the Web Development Trainee Program

Yes, the trainee program can be combined with a bachelor's or master's thesis. After the initial weeks of training, we will work together with you to find an exciting topic within our technological cope and coordinate collaboration with your university. Since its foundation, makandra GmbH has closely collaborated with universities. Many employees have started their careers with a successful thesis at our company.

The duration of the trainee program depends on your learning speed and prior knowledge. We will evaluate your progress together and adjust the timeframe if necessary. Depending of your level of knowledge, the program typically lasts 4-8 months in most cases.

The aim of the trainee program is to train you to become a Full-Stack Web Developer in a few months. We cannot teach you the basics of software development and therefore require profound programming skills and IT understanding. The program is therefore not suitable for career changers or those from unrelated fields.

We do not require you to have deep knowledge of web development beforehand. However, it is beneficial if you have some initial experience and, above all, can demonstrate why you want to work in web development.

No, that is not currently possible. We allow our trainees to work from home one day per week, but we firmly believe that the learning effect and value of the program for both parties are greater when you are sitting with colleagues in the same room.
