Hiring junior engineers can be really rewarding. But when a junior fails to thrive, it’s stressful all round.
When juniors fail, it’s often not their fault. And we can make failure far more avoidable by planning for their success. With the right foundations – environment, opportunity, and support – they can grow into great engineers.
Juniors need a safe and secure place to lay their foundations
Great engineers build a ‘wall’ of engineering excellence that they lean into when solving new problems throughout their careers. A strong wall needs good foundations, built in a suitable place, and that’s where our focus should be when welcoming junior engineers.
