Quality, diverse tech talent at scale

Since 2006, we've seen 80% of our summer internship candidates have been on-hired by their employer afterwards. We know that interns are a fantastic way to secure future team members!

Summer of Tech helps develop students and recent graduates from tertiary institutions across Aotearoa from first-year to PhD level, and up to 12 months after completing their study.

We review every candidate’s CV and profile to highlight what employers want to know. Our free industry-led bootcamps on technical and core skills help candidates develop personally and professionally. These events give them practical experience opportunities and a taste of real world work.
