News: This summer, 16 tech talents apply no-code skills to create and deploy real apps for our customers
Every year, many aspiring young professionals apply for summer jobs and internships to gain work experience. This summer, 16 students out of 350 applicants will receive their own, real-life projects for Genus customers. The majority are from NTNU, and the rest are from UiO. Together, they come from different university programs, but what they have in common is a desire to solve problems at the intersection of business and technology.
Projects for leading Norwegian companies
This summer, seven independent projects will be completed in just five weeks and later used by leading Norwegian companies such as Norconsult, BWE and KLP, not to mention three in-house projects for our R&D.
The projects are:
KLP - Flyt
Upgrade KLP’s claims platform with Genus: new features, continuous tweaks, plus an AI plan for faster, automated processing.Norconsult – CV Tool
Four interns build a bid-focused CV system: tailor CVs to client specs and add a searchable employee/CV portal.Norconsult – Equipment Rental
Create a two-part tool for technical gear: admin inventory + user search / reservation.BWE - JIB app
Turn the Joint Interest Billing (JIB) cost-sharing app into a web solution for oil-field partners.Genus - Secret Manager
Better integration with external secret stores (e.g., Azure Key Vault).
Genus - Optical Scanner
Control for automatic barcode/text capture via device camera.
Scheduling
Move action scheduling from desktop to web with a faster, cleaner UI.
The students will work in pairs and are fully responsible for the projects from start to finish. However, when help is needed, they are supervised by experienced business engineers and developers in Genus.
Summer Intern Superpower 🚀
Since 2015, our five-week summer program has been what Norwegian tech students queue up for—200-300 applicants fight for the spots yearly. It seems to work:
43 of Genus’ 87 employees started out as summer interns.
New hires every autumn: grads keep saying “yes, please” to full-time offers.
“It’s the perfect trifecta: students build real solutions with no-code, customers get new applications, and we find the talent that will power Genus tomorrow.”
– Erik Hannisdal, Interim CEO Genus
Experience > Paycheck
Students are motivated more by hands-on experience than salary; project work clarifies their future career interests, and no-code developers collaborate directly with business teams, gaining valuable domain expertise rather than focusing solely on traditional coding.
