Everything you need to know about being awesome with technology! | ||

|
||
Everything you need to know about | ||
dwyl's creative technology apprenticeship! | ||
|
||
## Why? | ||
|
||
_Most_ companies/organisations only (_want to_) hire | ||
people who _already_ have "_years_" of experience | ||
and not _invest_ in training `new` people. | ||
|
||
On the _surface_ it can be _tempting_ to only | ||
hire "_experienced_" people for technical teams; | ||
after all someone _else_ has paid for their past "mistakes" | ||
and they have practiced their craft for "_years_", | ||
so they are more likely to get the work done faster, right? | ||
|
||
|
||
### Our | ||
|
||
At dwyl we hypothesize that it's _more effective_ | ||
to train people _from scratch_ | ||
because of the following reasons: | ||
+ Gives people who are new to the industry a start. | ||
+ Avoids bad habits (_like un-tested or un-documented work!_) | ||
+ Instills the habit of continuous learning _early_ | ||
in the person's journey thus avoiding "_senior syndrome_" | ||
(_where people feel they already know everything!_) | ||
+ New people tend to have a ["beginners mind"](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shoshin) | ||
and are more "_teachable_" | ||
+ more likely to pass on their knowledge to teammates (_whereas most "senior" people "hoard" their knowledge our of fear of being replaced!_) | ||
