Introducing Students and Start-ups 4 “A New Hope”:

.
Students and Start-ups is an event that couples energetic and enthusiastic students with start-ups looking to hire; full time, part-time, contract or co-op in the next 3 to 6 months. Like all TheCodeFactory events this is fun, friendly and informal with the aim of generating results. In our previous two Students and Start-ups we have had 7 hires and we are looking to improve on that with this edition.
.
Look whose coming: Coral CEA, Infonium, Travelpod, Zeebu Mobile and possibly two more really cool start-ups that are just a little stealthier but … shhh don’t tell anyone. These are some of my favourite Ottawa start-ups with a few that have been acclaimed the highly coveted status of TheCodeFactory “Start-ups to watch”.
.
What’s the format? Well what would an event be without pizza, pop, introductions and fun and games. We set up a challenge, put you in teams and have you compete in the spirit of friendly competition against your peers for fun, glory and the opportunity to get an awesome job.
.
Sounds great how do I sign up? A cautionary note: attendance is limited to 20 students and we have already had a number of spots taken. First come first served. The registration link is here:
