This document describes Pernix's apprenticeship program in Costa Rica, which aims to address the lack of experienced workers available to technology companies. The program takes recent graduates and provides them real-world work experience through supervised projects and mentorship over 6 months. This allows the apprentices to gain both technical and soft skills while helping Pernix and its clients find qualified candidates. The program has proven successful, improving retention rates and satisfaction while the apprentices gain experience to fill higher level roles.
