1. Experience the different functional areas of a company and how they work together to produce successful software products.
During school projects you likely worked with others with similar backgrounds, however in the workplace this will not be the case. Within a software company, there are many different functional groups, and it’s your responsibility to know how to navigate them to complete your projects. Your requests will often go through other teams, so it’s important to understand how long this may take so you can plan accordingly and not be held up by bottlenecks. At Launchpad you will gain first hand knowledge on how functional groups interact to complete projects on time and on budget, which is a key skill you will apply in your future career.
