The University of Central Arkansas has partnered with Metova, Inc. to open an on-campus intern office.
The new office will provide student interns with the experience required for gainful employment in one of the many openings in the technology industry, ranging from coding to marketing, available in Arkansas and across the country.
“Arkansas has quickly become a top destination for world-class technology companies,” said John Adams, CEO of Metova. “We’re proud to open up a new realm of training and opportunities for University of Central Arkansas students and look forward to tapping into the immense talent at this university to develop the next generation of skilled tech workforce.”
Arkansas-based technology companies, such as Metova, Acxiom, Hewlett Packard Enterprise and Ensono, currently employ more than 2,000 technology professionals with a steady need for new talent. These companies have committed to hiring at least 100 new employees each year. This on-campus Metova internship opportunity will provide the skills necessary to land these leading-edge positions.
“The partnership we have established with Metova and their presence on the University of Central Arkansas campus is a tremendous asset to our students, the university and the community as a whole,” said Dr. Steven Runge, executive vice president and provost. “The marketable experience that will be gained by UCA students participating in these internships is invaluable and will give them a significant advantage as they graduate and seek to transition into a highly competitive workforce.”
With offices in Conway and Fayetteville, Metova has been at the forefront in design and development of Android apps since the first Android phone was released in 2008. In 2009, Metova developers trained in Objective-C to support the emerging demand for iPhone and iPad apps. With customers ranging from government entities to Fortune 500 companies to organizations including Yelp, Dropbox and eHarmony, Metova is a leading veteran in mobile, web and cybersecurity.
