I worked for a large corporation. The corporation had a program to hire coop students, both from high school (limited to 4 hrs a day for 5 months), and from university (different universities had different programs, some had 4 month engagements, others than 16 month long ones).

This had positive effect of forcing our internal documentation for developers to be top notch, so that students / new hires were up to speed as fast as possible.

If your corporation has resources to hire co-op students, use this as opportunity to look into what DevEx pieces are missing, what you can improve. This will improve your teams docs/devex and will help your team better interface with other teams within the corporation.
