Serhii Morhunov: Vinnytsia National Technical University Will Cooperate with the International IT Company GlobalLogic

"In my opinion, IT education should keep pace with the realities of the economy and the market. That is why the synergy of educational, business and government institutions is so important. The community is interested in this, and we are working to create comfortable conditions for the professional growth of young programmers," says Serhii Morhunov.

For the fifth year in a row, the City Council supports the Sikorskyi Challenge startup school on the basis of VNTU. Earlier this year, they became partners in the Innovation Cluster project. And the "magnet" for ideas and talents should be the first in Ukraine municipal technology park Krystal, which is already under construction.

"The future of the IT industry is for the creative youth, which is in short supply in our city. And we are counting on their contribution to the innovative development of Vinnytsia 3.0. By the way, according to the results of this year's All-Ukrainian municipal poll, Vinnytsia is the city with the most favorable conditions for youth success," said Serhii Morhunov.

4250 students study technical specialties at VNTU. The University's collaboration with GlobalLogic will help them better understand the specifics of the profession and gain the skills needed to work with IT projects. The partnership will also contribute to the development of the ecosystem of individual development of future technical specialists.

"Implementation of innovations in Ukrainian technical education is a necessary condition for the development of the IT market. Thanks to cooperation with Ukrainian higher education institutions, in particular with Vinnytsia National Technical University, we will be able to positively influence the quantitative and qualitative rate of involvement of novice specialists in the IT field," said GlobalLogic University Program Coordinator in Ukraine, PhD, Associate Professor Yevhen Sakalo.

"Our cooperation involves the modernization of educational programs at Vinnytsia National Technical University. Applicants for higher education at VNTU will be able to gain relevant practical skills," said VNTU Rector Viktor Bilichenko.

It will be recalled that Vinnytsia was included in the TOP-3 of the most comfortable cities for IT specialists according to the DOU project rating, which was published in February this year.
