Creating Talent: The AP Lab Story

Introduction

Summing up 2022 with a full podcast studio and one of our favorite topics: AP Lab.

Led by dedicated Authority Partners consultants, AP Lab is a 16-week program focusing on full-stack development and quality assurance, covering the entire software development lifecycle.

For this session, we gathered our very own AP Lab Alumni, Nerma Hanić, Eldin Cengic and Rabina Jusufovic; AP Lab coordinator and TA Specialist Anela Tucakovic; and current lab trainee Adnan Bucalovic.

They talk about the program, why it is structured the way it is and what they think you should know about it.
