WHATS IT ALL ABOUT?
Summer of Tech is a world-class internship programme matching smart technology students with innovative New Zealand employers. Founded by a group of startups in Wellington's Creative HQ in 2006, we help IT businesses get their hands on the best students for summer internships. We help students get ready to meet the needs of local employers, and facilitate the selection process. Summer of Tech remains an industry led initiative focussed on meeting the real needs of students and employers looking for growth.
Summer of Tech changed it's name from Summer of Code in 2010 to reflect the evolving nature of the students and employers we are working with. Initially focussed on internships for people who write code, Summer of Tech has grown to include many more areas of technology and innovation. In 2011 the Summer of Tech has partnered with the New Zealand Computer Society to share resources and align goals for growing the technology sector in New Zealand. In 2011 we're actively working with employers and students from Wellington to Palmerston North, but employers and students from other parts of New Zealand are welcome to participate too: please send us an email if you're interested.
We are grateful for the ongoing support from all our sponsors and partners, and also to the many volunteers who give up their time and share their knowledge and expertise... Thank you!
