About SoftServe Academy

SWITCH IT ON | Твій старт в ІТ

SoftServe Academy is a collection of different types of training aimed at students and people with little or no experience in IT. The programs SoftServe offers are based on the methodology of modern software development and learning new technologies.

During our various trainings, fellow professionals with a lot of experience are involved, sharing knowledge that cannot be acquired in such detail elsewhere. It is extremely beneficial for trainees to be "infected" by their professionalism and enthusiasm. We have many examples of successful trainees who are now at Senior level, Architects and others, built and developed entirely by SoftServe Academy.

OUR ALUMNI’S STORY

PAVLINA ANDONOVA
One of my biggest fears was the question everybody was asking, 'And now what's next?'. The opportunity to join and become a valuable part of the SoftServe family came knocking on my door and I didn’t have to think twice! I successfully completed the WebUI Project Lab, after which I got offered an internship. Graduating from the academy was an exciting challenge for me which gave me the chance to gain not only technical knowledge, but also the so- called “Soft Skills”. Becoming part of the team allowed me to participate in various projects and work with people from all over the world. The criteria for every next career level is clearly defined, and how fast we will climb the ladder depends entirely on our motivation. Just a year and a half later, I was preparing for an intermediate position and looking forward to expanding the horizons of my knowledge!

When I decided to make the first steps towards my professional development in the IT world, I came across the opportunity to enroll in the SoftServe IT Academy. With the start of the academy, I met new people with curious minds, and we shared common interests and goals. The projects we worked on contributed to the development of our “coding skills” and just as important our “soft skills”. Our mentors were very inspiring and responsive, they were always there to help us improve our weaknesses. We gained extensive theoretical knowledge and were able to apply it practically through working on various tasks. This experience strengthened further my working methods which are fundamental in my daily life as a developer. My successful graduation of the IT Academy allowed me to become part of the SoftServe team. This was a solid start of my career in the IT world.

When I started looking for a job, I submitted my documents for a QC Project Lab at the SoftServe IT Аcademy. I was invited to an interview and soon after we started with our classes. The first week went by and I realized that this experience will be very valuable for me. The difference between University studies and the SoftServe Academy is that here there are experts and mentors who guide you in the direction of your career development. This gives you the chance to face the real dynamics behind everyday workflow. The practical experience turned out to be an extremely important step towards my professional growth. The clarity our mentors brought about the career opportunities was amazing. If you want to grow and upgrade your knowledge, the learning materials are available through our specially developed internal system. After graduating the academy, I became part of the SoftServe team. That fact made me realize that I had learned more than I had imagined.
