Case Study: The Value of Custom Training
At a Fortune 500 company, software engineers needed training to develop advanced applications, but heavy workloads allowed little time for professional development. With varying development tools and techniques, they needed innovative in-house training that would uniformly upskill each engineer.

The Guild ... seems to draw great people who have the work ethic and the aptitude to take on a development position and excel.
Chris Weizer
Systems Manager at AmTrust
We hired a graduate of the Minneapolis Software Guild Bootcamp, and despite not having learned the language we primarily use (PHP), she was able to leverage her training to ramp up quickly and begin making real contributions her first week on the job. Since then, she has continued to grow in both her skills as well as her role within the company. We will definitely continue to work with The Software Guild to meet our technology staffing needs.

Naomi’s GitHub profile was very good and our client was impressed. She was very professional and well put together. She was confident, yet very coachable and ready to learn. Naomi was thrown into development work right away, and our client was very impressed with her willingness to jump right in.

Hannah Laps
Director of Hiring at Patriot Software
Garret has integrated into our team and getting to hold more of the reins. We feel like we had a good read on his personality, but we were surprised at how well he has absorbed difficult concepts. We get to see the full picture now, and I couldn’t be happier. Garrett is able to hang with me when I get in the zone, without getting lost, and then he can repeat difficult concepts I have gone over.
David Dieruf
Senior Developer at Streamline Payments
It’s been great partnering with your group for our entry level Software Engineering needs here at CH Robinson. We look forward to continuing our partnership for future hiring needs.
Andy Peterson
Senior Technical Recruiter at CH Robinson
We hired Anna from The Software Guild and she has quickly become our best tester. The program gave her a solid foundation in coding techniques and more important taught her how to size up and break down problems. She was able to hit the ground running and handles what has taken other developers on my team months to learn. The next need I have I will look to the Guild first.
David Basarab
Software Development Manager at CineMassive
Working with the Software Guild was a very positive experience and I really liked the Employer Connect Event. Dustin has no problem communicating and fitting in with the team. We tried two years of traditional recruiting and we were just not happy with the results, so we would not hesitate to hire more Guild apprentices.
Mendy McLandsborough
Manager of Product Development at SMC3
SG apprentices hit the ground running. There is virtually no ramp up time. Within the first few days, the apprentice is programming and adding immediate value to the project. He or she is already equipped to participate in projects for some of our most challenging client assignments.
