Learn how to develop skilled Drupal talent through a structured 45-day internship program in this 18-minute conference talk. Discover why structured onboarding matters when traditional self-learning approaches fall short in Drupal development, and explore how building confidence early creates more effective junior developers. Follow a detailed breakdown of the 45-day plan, starting with Drupal basics and site-building in weeks 1-2, progressing to custom modules, theming, and simple projects in weeks 3-4, and culminating with real client tasks and project simulations in weeks 5-6. Access practical templates and frameworks including daily task sheets, progress tracking methods, and code review practices that can be immediately implemented. Understand key mistakes to avoid such as overloading theory early and underestimating the importance of real-world Drupal debugging skills. Review success metrics and lessons learned from actual implementation to refine your approach. Gain the knowledge to create a replicable onboarding plan, structure tasks that gradually build developer confidence, identify common pitfalls in early Drupal learning, and establish a nurturing yet performance-focused intern program that transforms beginners into confident junior Drupal developers.
