Ayoka's University Relations™ program uniquely positions our firm in the software development market. We partner with select universities that cultivate outstanding software engineers and application developers. As either a degreed graduate or by taking leave from their graduate studies, these individuals integrate with Ayoka's experienced staff to create dynamic, highly motivated project teams. Using this model, Ayoka maintains our strict project and software development methodologies in place while constantly refreshing our collective skill sets with information technology specialists who care about learning and working on the leading edge of their field.

With software becoming more advanced than ever, performing software development is not just about hiring a programmer. Software development is about building the right team of specialists, such as people focused on database development, networks, or integration. For graduate students who compete to get into Ayoka's University Relations™ program, this is the job opportunity of a lifetime. These highly competitive positions at Ayoka incorporate industry-experienced Masters and PhD candidates into Ayoka's culture. Side-by-side with Ayoka's senior architects and designers, these team members not only develop, but directly interact with clients. This experienced and enthusiastic team of software developers allows our clients to make their web, e-commerce or enterprise software application a reality!
