1021.0. "2-months-jobs needed for SW-trainees in the US" by UFHIS::WMUELLER (Wolfgang Mueller @UFH Cust Trg Munich) Mon Feb 05 1990 08:16

Who has a job for trainees (1-3) for two months in the US/CANADA?

The trainees have working knowledge of VMS, COBOL and FORTRAN.

Background:
Ed. Services Munich is offering one-year-classes for people who 
need retraining in DP and IM - with considerable success. The students
- most of them have a university degree in social sciences, management
sciences, engineering or something else - have excellent job opportunities 
after finishing these classes.

The German Labor Administration is funding this retraining program.
The curriculum consists of: VMS, FORTRAN, COBOL, Operating/System 
Management, ULTRIX, C, Rdb, DECforms, CDDplus, DECnet ...

Training on the job - in the midth of the course - is part of the 
curriculum. The purpose: to get the students involved in little 
projects, to make them responsible for developing/testing of small 
applications.  

As our experience has shown the students can do useful jobs. 
They mustn't be pampered all day long. They don't get any money for 
these two months.

Please contact me if You are interested in hiring these students for 
two months:

	Wolfgang Mueller 	@UFH
	DTN 773-2174

I'm the project manager for retraining program.

	Cheers		Wolfgang

PS: I'll put this topic also in other conferences.

1021.1	Have you considered the Far East	MANM03::FRANCISHO		`Mon Feb 05 1990 09:47`	12
	Does the job has to be in US/Canada ? Here in the Far East we do have lot of requirement for programmers/system managers for a short period of time ! Please give me more details ! What do you mean the students don't get any money ? How do you expect them to live on ? ps. I am the SWS manager for Digital Philippines

	What he means is that your cost center doesn't have to pay the students a salary -- the program is funded by the German government, which pays the students a stipend. Does the government also pay their airfare to come to the U.S. or Canada? Is the stipend sufficient to show evidence to U.S./Canadian immigration authorities that the person will not end up on public assistance roles? Is it even legal in the U.S./Canada? /john

We are interested in finding out more information. We have 2 projects currently underway in the Washington, D.C. area where we could potentially use these students. One involves knowledge of VMS and C while the other is VMS, COBOL AND Rdb. Both of these projects could benefit from some additional coding support. We would be interested in learning of the number of people available, the expected timeframe and any additional particulars i.e. logistics, language skills etc. We look forward to hearing from you and are excited about this possibility.
