🔹 where to start your journey in IT,
🔹 how to build a professional portfolio while still in school,
🔹 what fields graduates can work in: Data Science, Web Development, QA, DevOps, Software Engineering.
🔹 how to write a competent resume that will immediately attract the attention of recruiters. Students learned how to structure their CV correctly, which skills to emphasize, and how to present even educational projects in a favorable light.
The department’s training combines theory and practice, including participation in career events, internships, freelance projects, and international exchange programs, which opens the way to a real first job offer as early as the third or fourth year of study.
