Timeline (last 90 days)
Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon University are collaborating on a program called PRAISE (Preceptorship for AI-accelerated Software Engineering), cultivating new software engineering talent for the AI era through a mentorship model rather than the traditional internship model.
The PRAISE program changes the role label of senior engineers from 'mentor' in traditional internships to 'Preceptor', emphasizing that their job responsibility shifts from delivering code to 'delivering senior engineers'.
Scott Hanselman summarizes PRAISE's most core value proposition: the job of a senior engineer is to deliver the product, while the job of a mentor is to deliver senior engineers.
