I'm of the firm belief that software development should be an apprenticeship. Most people I've seen straight from uni write ureadable/unmaintainable code and are arrogant to boot (maybe that's a generational thing...). Uni teaches you nothing that's useful for the vast majority of development jobs out there. At best a degree is some proof that you have a brain and are vaguley interested in the subject matter.
You have to be proactive with new starters. Explain to them what you're doing and why you're doing it. Any monkey can write code that passes a unit test, being fully aware of what you're coding and it's context is another matter.
