| The
Internship Program College juniors
interested in software development can gain real-world experience at Datatel while working
with the latest software development technologies and methodologies. At Datatel, interns
are first trained in the fundamentals needed to be active contributors on our team. Once
this training is completed, each intern is assigned to a work team with a mentor. They
start right away working on projects that impact Datatel’s clients.

with their mentors throughout the summer while programming software. Mentors are also
available to help interns navigate Datatel’s unique corporate culture that embraces
interns and treats them like regular employees. Datatel
is an award winning company. Datatel has been selected four times in a row as one of the
