Developer Skills Training Path 
Our Dev Degree interns come from different experiences, making the transition into the program daunting! To ease this transition, our team is responsible for supporting interns’ well-being, helping them learn how to become effective communicators, and providing feedback on their performance during the Developer Skills Training Path. This collaborative environment helps first-year interns feel ready and prepared for team placements.
Technical Education
The Developer Skills Training Path provides the foundation to prepare interns to work on an Engineering team. Our Technical Educators have an extensive background in education and Computer Science and are responsible for building out and delivering the Developer Skills Training Path at Shopify. Our Technical Educators create a curriculum for a wide range of development skills relevant to Engineering at Shopify.
Work Experience
It can be challenging to build work experience, especially when it comes to finding that elusive first placement. Not in the Dev Degree program! Work experience is an integral part of our applied learning model, and our team coordinates and oversees work placements for all students. We work closely with Shopify Development teams to ensure compatibility and fit to place students on teams where they can be impactful.
Engineering Team Mentors
Work placements allow interns to apply what they’ve learned to meaningful, real-world development projects. This hands-on experience can be both exciting and daunting! Our Engineering Team Mentors help interns build confidence and technical skills. Engineering Team Mentors are responsible for guiding, evaluating, and providing actionable feedback to students throughout their work placements.
