ICT4Youth: Lyceum Students from the South Participate in IT Career Guidance Sessions

High school students living in the southern part of Moldova receive information and guidance for future IT careers. Information sessions have been organized as part of the ICT4Youth program within the EU4Moldova: Startup City Cahul project, in which young people were encouraged to study information technology and to get to know the real opportunities and benefits that the industry can offer.

During the sessions, 20 IT professionals shared their success stories and experiences with the young people and spoke about the activities that would guide the students and determine them to choose a career in IT.

The cities of Cantemir, Leova, Taraclia and Cahul will also host workshops where participants can learn more about IT specialties, such as Software Engineering, Web Development, Software Testing, Project Management and other. The ICT4Youth program includes training webinars and practical workshops, and as a final touch – a career fair for young program graduates. It is one of the programs implemented in the region of Cahul to help expand development opportunities and create the premises for connecting talents and human capital potential with the opportunities offered by national and local IT companies.

During the campaign, implementers presented the 12 most sought-after specialties on the labour market, so that students could get a better insight of what is specific to each profession and eventually make an easier choice during their further studies.
