Your role at ACA

Internship

The internship frames technically within the custom development POD called Collectiv. This means that the assignments each project team of students will work on will be developed in (mainly) Java or .NET with Angular or React as front-end technologies.

Each project team will be supervised on a frequent basis by a passionate Software Engineer/Architect and a Proxy (i.e. Project Manager and Analyst role combined).

Furthermore, the project follows an agile project methodology, with aspects from Scrum and Kanban. Sprints last 2 weeks and after every 2 weeks the product developed so far is shown to the customer. Each day starts with a short stand-up, where all team members share what they worked on the previous day, what is on their schedule today and any problems they expect to encounter.

Goal


The final goal of the internship is that you as a group deliver a proof of concept (PoC) or prototype with report that addresses the sustainability challenge of the client. Here we attach importance to the sustainability impact and technical elaboration of the solution as well as what was built and how it was arrived at.
