A WEI Tech Talk Episode on Building Enterprise-Ready Talent
What does it take to turn early-career technologists into contributors who can ship, support, and optimize production-level code? In this WEI Tech Talk episode, Michael Tranquillo shares how he did exactly that through WEI’s Technical Apprentice Program.
Fresh out of a six-month full-stack development bootcamp, Michael joined an enterprise development team at a major insurance company. Within weeks, he was improving legacy systems—introducing new efficiencies to document creation workflows and delivering business value in production.

What “real contribution” looks like for early-career technical talent
The Bigger Picture:
If you're facing long hiring cycles, a backlog of digital projects, or concerns about knowledge transfer, WEI’s apprenticeship model offers a path forward. Michael’s story is a case study in how structured support and smart placement can turn high-potential talent into real contributors for your organization.
This is not an internship. It’s a value-driven engagement model built around delivery, growth, and long-term impact.
