[GAP] Internships for Ada Students

[Louise Arkwright]

Dear Ada Instructors,

We have been informed by several of our customers that there are real 
difficulties today in recruiting students having studied Ada,  and that 
inversely we are hearing that many post-graduates with an Ada background 
are encountering difficulties finding a professional activity in their 
field.

In  order to address this issue at the root, perhaps it would be helpful 
to exchange info on student internships:

   - are your students looking for internships ?
   - how easily do they secure an internship ?
   - how far afield are students prepared to move to undertake an 
internship?
   - within what type of industry are internships found/offered?
   - would it be helpful if  the Ada Academic Initiative were to assist 
by awarding competition winners in-house internships at AdaCore and with 
some of our customers?

Feedback on this subject welcome!
