AGENCY & BUSINESS - How to Inspire and Bring New People to the Drupal Ecosystem

This talk explores strategies to encourage individuals to engage with Drupal and details CI&T's approach to structuring a comprehensive Drupal training program. With a high demand for Drupal developers and a limited supply in the market, CI&T has developed a specialized Drupal 9 training pathway. The speaker discusses the implementation of a bootcamp program designed to hire and retain software developers, covering the entire process from recruitment to project delivery for real clients. The session includes insights on attracting talent from diverse technology backgrounds, the rationale behind the course structure, including contributions as part of the training, and feedback on developer performance in actual projects.
