I was asked to create a high level design of a Full Stack Java training program for graduates joining the organization. The need behind this program was for graduates to be project ready, post the three month training (timeline decided internally). This is what I created, again solely based on assumptions as per the brief.

1. Graduate
Trainee Program
Clarice Dass | 4th Nov, 2020

2. This is a high-level plan for a three-
month training program to get
graduate developers project ready

3. Project Scope
▪ Goal -Technical and soft skills training for graduate
trainees to upskill and be project ready as Full Stack Java
Developers.
▪ Need - Meet business growth needs by scaling new
hires.
▪ Stakeholders - CTO,Technology and Delivery
Leadership for accounts.
▪ Out of Scope - Account specific onboarding and training

4. Objectives
▪ Overall project objectives:
▪ Technical objectives – Java Full Stack, Hadoop and
CI/CD
▪ Schedule objectives – Three months
▪ Cost objectives -TBD
▪ Non-goals
▪ Networking and Community of Practice expansion
for developers
▪ Hands on experience of working on projects together
and individually
▪ Opportunity to immerse themselves in the
organization before having to perform in client
projects

5. Success Factors
▪ Faster ramp up on client projects
▪ High quality work output
▪ Shorter time to be billable
▪ Smoother onboarding journey for graduates
