An educational and innovation laboratory will appear at the Vitebsk Technological University
Vitebsk State Technological University (VSTU) and IT company Andersen will launch a joint project at the university's Science and Technology Park on April 6, the company reported.
This initiative will serve as an example of educational and innovation cooperation between the university and the IT business. A training laboratory, a startup incubator, an educational center, and an active development office will begin their work. More than 160 jobs will be created here, where practical classes for students will be held and where programmers will share their experience with them.
"Based on the laboratory, free courses will be organized for Vitebsk residents, allowing them to obtain in-demand IT specialties. Among the areas are JavaScript programming, testing, and business analysis. Later, simultaneously with the opening of the "virtual environment design" specialty at VSTU, web design will also be added," the company noted.
In terms of staff recruitment, the organization focuses on graduates of local universities, attracted through practice-oriented training that meets global standards for software product development. Last year, the number of employees in the IT company increased by 30%, including due to graduates of Belarusian universities.
