Worker Type - Intern

Interns or apprentices typically do not have the experience to work as an employee nor a subcontractor. They are often students, in which case we encourage the coupling of their internship with their academic endeavors.

Interns operate like subcontractors in that they manage their own time and are paid on a fixed-price, fixed-schedule basis relative to a defined internship project. The fixed-price paid is significantly less than a subcontractor, more like an honorarium of a hundred dollars.

An internship project does not usually involve a deliverable to a Bizware client, but rather an in-house, overhead project. This allows the focus to remain on improving skillsets rather than meeting deadlines. A typical internship project represents a two-week effort for an experienced programmer that the intern is expected to complete in under three months.

Bizware's tools and talent are available, but an intern is not a trainee in that we do not provide a classroom environment with lesson plans and an academic structure. Interns have to provide their own motivation, a drive to learn anything and everything associated with their project.

Interns become eligible to be considered to become employees or subcontractors upon the successful completion of their internship project.
