And there the workforce is draining, freeing the place in the sun for the graduates of universities.

Moreover - IT companies are quite loyal to young professionals.

They are ready to train students and graduates of higher educational institutions, "raise" for themselves cadres.

Most large companies, for example, create internship programs or conduct specialized trainings, and then select the best for their work.

TAKE THE MAXIMUM.

Recall that to enter this or that IT-specialty, applicants need to pass three subjects on external independent testing (VNO): Ukrainian language and literature, mathematics, as well as a choice of physics or a foreign language.

But already at the final direct introductory campaign, the guys should think carefully about where to take the original documents.

Before making a final choice, learn as much as possible about the educational opportunities that the university offers. For example, ask the admissions committee about international programs with foreign alma mater.

Thus, students of the CPI can receive a double diploma of Master of such foreign universities as the Technical University of Dresden (Germany), Un-t Indianapolis (Greece), the Higher National University. Mining School (France), Polytechnic School (France).

And in the Lviv Polytechnic there are programs of a double degree with the Silesian Polytechnic (Poland), the Technical University Ilmenau (Germany) and the University of Applied Sciences Giessen-Friedberg.

It will not hurt to ask familiar IT people what universities give the best education.

Here's what the director of recruitment of IT company GlobalLogic Anna Kiselevskaya told us: "By recruiting people to our work, we pay attention to the authority of the university in a particular region.

In Lviv - this, of course, Lviv Polytechnic and National University. I. Franko, in Kiev - "KPI", "Shevchenko", "Mohylanka", NAU, and in Kharkov - the Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute, the Kharkov Aviation Institute, as well as the Kharkov National University. Un-t radio electronics ".

However, according to Anna, the university pay attention, as a rule, when hiring a young specialist.

If an experienced specialist comes with a technical base, then the name of the institution no longer plays such a role.

By the way, do not confine yourself to high school "crust."

To earn its place under the sun in the world of IT business, one can not do without certificates from large IT companies.

To receive it, you must pass the exam in the testing centers Prometric and Pearson VUE (www.prometric.com and www.vue.com).

They have branches in different countries of the world, including Ukraine.

The cost of one exam ranges from $ 80 to $ 300 (although in some cases, the price can reach $ 500).
