A very special Apprenticeship Journey
Trying to grow your team but struggling to find a path for new devs? Trying to break into the software development industry? Don't stop believin'! In this edition of Cincinnati Ruby Brigade, we'll interview two apprentices who are nearing the end of a paid apprenticeship. We'll hear from them what experiences they've had, things that helped them, and what they're looking forward to as they prepare to complete the program and move into the next phase of their careers.

This should keep a clear boundary between the "application" and the "framework" which have very different rates of change.
