Start a Ruby Internship
summary
A concrete blueprint: a replicable plan that claims internships increase team capacity rather than slow it, illustrated by Learn Academy’s we've done over 100! placements and a curriculum that pairs a four-week internship to classroom work. Specifics include SMART goals, timeboxed and single‑step tickets, documentation audits, pair programming and weekly planning, guidance on cohort size (minimum two, ideal four), and measures of success rather than vague “examples.”
