Greetings!
 As
the InterSystems Campus Program continues to
grow, it's exciting to have more of our partners
reach out to our InterSystems Campus Team for
assistance building relationships with local
colleges and universities.
Here's an
example:
John Armstrong, Co-Founder,
Chairman and CEO of Lead Horse Technologies in Junction
City, Kansas, USA, was looking for more students
and recent graduates with Caché knowledge and
experience. He contacted us to see how he could
form a partnership with two local campuses to help
them incorporate Caché into their curriculum. We
suggested he start by meeting with the Computer
Science departments at Cloud Community College
and Kansas State University
to gauge their interest. That's all it took to get
the project started! He met with both institutions
to discuss Caché and his ideas for an internship
program. They were enthusiastic about working with
Lead Horse Technologies and incorporating Caché
into their course offerings. They just needed a
strategy in place.
The
Strategy
The Campus team was
excited to hear how committed the two institutions
were to adding Caché to their curriculum in the
Fall. We knew we had to act fast to take
advantage of the summer to educate the professors
and other faculty members on Caché. The
InterSystems Campus team went to work to
coordinate training, and a trainer is now
scheduled to deliver Caché training in July to
faculty members of both institutions alongside
some of the Lead Horse Technology team in Kansas.
Once the course is complete, the two campuses and
Lead Horse Technologies will meet again to create
a plan for implementation, including what courses
will be taught at each school. Cloud Community
College has a two year associate program and
Kansas State University has a four year bachelor
program in computer science. Lead Horse
Technologies will work with the two institutions
to determine at what stage of the program it would
be appropriate to recruit interns. In addition to
providing free Caché licenses and support, the
InterSystems Campus team will assist with the
course implementations as needed.
