Sheffield Hallam University and 3Squared’s 19-year thriving partnership has recently seen the team support Hallam students in a new ‘scrum week’ project.
Since the partnership was established in 2004, 3Squared has supported many students, offering over 60 students full-time roles at 3Squared.
The scrum week project saw students develop skills across the board, from coding to user interface design. Students had the opportunity to interact with real clients to gather requirements, design and develop a solution and effectively manage a project.
Ross Bray, Technical Services Director, said: “For 3Squared, it is fantastic to get involved in projects like this, allowing the company to give back to Sheffield Hallam and potentially spark an interest in students.
Providing practical opportunities gives students tangible, real-life experience in software development, helping them to grow their understanding, knowledge and ultimately, their career. It has been brilliant to support the next generation of software development talent here in 3Squared’s home, Sheffield.”
Jacob Minor, Associate Software Engineer, said: “We’re pleased to see the students enthusiastically approach the task and create impressive final solutions. This was a great chance to ‘pass the baton’ to fellow Sheffield Hallam students and to help foster their passion for software development.”
