It has been 50 years since the term software engineering was coined in 1968at a NATO conference. The field should be relatively mature by now, with mostestablished universities covering core software engineering topics in theirComputer Science programs and others offering specialized degrees. However,still many practitioners lament a lack of skills in new software engineeringhires. With the growing demand for software engineers from the industry, thisapparent gap becomes more and more pronounced. One corporate strategy toaddress this gap is for the industry to develop supplementary training programsbefore the hiring process, which could also help them screen viable candidates.In this paper, we report on our experiences and lessons learned in conducting asummer school program aimed at screening new graduates, introducing them tocore skills relevant to the organization and the industry, and assessing theirattitudes toward mastering those skills before the hiring process begins. Ourexperience suggests that such initiatives can be mutually beneficial for newhires and companies. We support this insight with pre- and post-training datacollected from the participants during the first edition of such a summerschool and a follow-up questionnaire conducted after a year with the graduates,50% of whom was hired by the company shortly after the summer school.
