3. New Grad positions, is anyone in WI hiring?

   javawren_23 replied to settinggirl's topic in Wisconsin

   Our school requires passing with 100% at the beginning of each semester. If you don't pass in three tries, you're out of the program (so you could pass the first 3 semesters, but if you don't pass in 3 tries 4th semester, you're done). I did hear tha...
