Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it!
We did ask two universities in Zagreb about this as an idea and they liked it but in the end I never managed to get enough time to make a presentation so we gave up on the idea for now especially since we are hiring three new testers this September from a company that stopped working.
Each year for the last three years, my company is hosting “JSSchool” - Free Javascript workshop for students where they can learn about NodeJS and ReactJS over 5 Saturdays and the interest and results for it is great every time.
Was talking with our designers so we are thinking of doing maybe something similar in future years but about Testing, UI/UX but for now that is just an idea.
We do not really offer real internships here (this summer was the first time we did it with 3 developers) but we do hire a lot of students where they are paid by the hours for as much as they can work and where they really work on real project (think we currently have around 8 developers students and 1 tester that is a student) since in Croatia we have a Students Job Services so Students can work and be paid per hour every month (they need to bring new contract each month so they can work as much as they can and can leave when they want).
So we are offering Students Part-time job for testers as well, but our problem was that we got only like 7-8 applications in like 8-10 months and all of them were very bad and werent really showing big motivation (when a guy applies for a job and you ask him if he knows what QA or what Tester is and he tells you “no, I was hoping you will tell me on job interview” you know he is not interested at all about it if he didnt even bother to look at what he might be doing on job…)
And I agree with you how important labeling is…
Similar post on that topic is here: Quality Assurance - stop using this term! which is why I already told them to label it, and call the job “Software QA Engineer” since we are looking for Engineers in a first place…
