Establish Your Own In-House Talent Factory for SW Development

Develop Software Talent & Craftsmanship at Every Level

We help organizations establish internal Talent Factories that develop software talent across all experience levels. Whether participants are new to software or already seasoned engineers, our structured curriculum, practical performance tracking, and expert mentorship strengthen the skills needed to build, sustain, and evolve complex systems.

Why Build a Talent Factory?

Sustainment failures happen when human brains are eclipsed.

- Andrew Park

Founder, Edensoft Labs

As software systems grow, they eventually outpace developers who haven’t grown their craftsmanship ability. Crafting code for long term maintainability isn’t taught sufficiently in universities, even the top ones, and it’s rarely taught on the job. That gap leads to codebases that become slow to change, slow to debug, and expensive to sustain because productivity drops sharply. Our Talent Factory closes that gap by building and strengthening real craftsmanship at every level.

Grow Developers from Within

Hiring is costly and uncertain. Developing internal talent is faster, more reliable, and strengthens retention. Our program elevates capability at every level so your team can build and sustain the systems you depend on.

Proven Over 21 Years

This is the same curriculum and mentorship model we’ve applied since 2004 to develop talent at every level and produce engineers who can build and sustain long lasting, maintainable systems.

Reduce Sustainment Risk

Developers who strengthen their craftsmanship skills become stewards of the codebase, able to refactor legacy systems, improve maintainability, and extend the lifespan of critical software.

Build Self-Sustaining Capability

As developers advance, they take on mentorship roles and reinforce a repeatable pipeline of software growth within your organization.

What We Provide

Battle-Tested Coding Technique Curriculum

Our curriculum teaches writing clean, maintainable, production quality code. Its 149 lessons go beyond syntax to focus on techniques that keep systems evolvable and supportable. Participants strengthen their ability to write software for people first and machines second, a skill that benefits developers at every level.

Battle-Tested Software Craftsmanship Curriculum

After technique training, participants enter our Software Craftsmanship phase, a battle-tested curriculum focused on architecture, complexity, and long-term quality. It sharpens design instincts through practical critique and helps developers at every level deliver clear, maintainable solutions at scale.

Classic Resources and Modern Oversight

Alongside our custom curriculum, we integrate timeless resources like Code Complete to reinforce proven software principles, with Edensoft Labs mentors ensuring concepts are understood, applied, and retained.

Expert Mentorship and Coaching

Our experienced mentors review code, answer questions, and guide participants through realistic challenges. This hands-on guidance accelerates growth and helps participants internalize good software practices.

Maintainability-Focused Progress Tracking

We track each participant’s progress by analyzing real code contributions. This gives leaders visibility into talent development and where targeted coaching can strengthen maintainability and clarity across the team.

Hands-On Claude AI Training for Software Development

Where available through Ask Sage, we provide practical training on using Claude to accelerate coding, debug issues, explore alternatives, and reinforce key concepts. Participants learn to use Claude effectively and responsibly to enhance learning, productivity, and development capability at every level.

Who This Is For

Software developers at any level who want to strengthen their craftsmanship and architectural skills
Systems engineers, QA personnel, and other technical staff moving deeper into software roles
Team members with strong technical aptitude who want to develop into full software engineers

What You Can Expect

Reduce sustainment and readiness risks

Improve maintainability across internal and vendor-delivered systems

Gain visibility into into how software talent is developing at every level

Accelerate onboarding and integration into complex codebases

Develop internal mentors who grow the next wave of talent

This is not a temporary training effort. It is a long-term capability that pays dividends across the lifecycle of every software system you operate.

Train the Team. Change the Trajectory.

Most software systems suffer not because of poor tools or bad intentions, but because teams were never trained in the craftsmanship skills needed to sustain what they build. We help you change that by putting a proven, disciplined training model in place inside your organization.
