UKRSIBBANK joined a large-scale conference on IT-education in Ukraine

This year’s Synergy two-day event. IT-Business & IT-Education: 10th Anniversary edition, initiated by IT Ukraine Association with the support by UKRSIBBANK BNP Paribas Group and Partners, united an incredible number of participants and speakers, representing leaders of IT-business, corporate and public sectors, as well as successful Ukrainian EdTech startups.

In the scope of the Conference, UKRSIBBANK experts took part in panel discussions and workshops, where trends and prospects for the development of the global IT-education market, the synergy of education and innovation, as well as plans for the development of IT education in Ukraine for 2024 were discussed. Training is a key aspect in business development and creating a successful future. Even the  Bank today cannot create quality products without proper IT-education, and continuous development of the employees’ skills.

Ukraine is a place for plans! This is a country of talented people who create innovative technologies. The IT-industry is one of the drivers of Ukraine's sustainable economic development. And in order to compete on the global IT-market, we should ensure that Ukrainian IT-education is high-quality, relevant and meets modern trends. UKRSIBBANK is a reliable and stable partner of the IT Ukraine Association. We support all key initiatives of the Association and have been a partner to IT Synergy for many years. It is important for us to unite all those who influence education in the IT-sector, because it is in the synergy of all stakeholders that the real transformation of education takes place.

UKRSIBBANK actively interacts with various IT-industries and contributes to the development of its own team through the Corporate Programs.

In the era of digital change, it is important not only to adapt, but also to define new standards. UKRSIBBANK is becoming a leader in digital transformation among Ukrainian banks, meeting the highest international standards. On the way to the recovery of the country, foreign investors are looking for reliability. In the future, professionals such as Innovation Shaker, DevOps Engineer, Tribe Lead, Scrum Master, and many others are needed for high-quality digital transformation of the Bank.

During the panel discussion Synergy: IT-Business & IT-Education, experts discussed the key aspects of the IT-market development, and trends for 2024, including the staff-related crisis, the importance of soft skills, and continuous self-development.

Speaking of readiness for change, I am convinced that any transformation depends on people. By engaging in self-development, people become initiators of change. Programs like IT for Uni: Bootcamp help to mobilize the public and are the first sign of readiness for positive changes in our Country.
