Ural Federal University Launches Free IT Education Program for 6,000 Students

6,058 students (including 434 from other universities in Ekaterinburg and the country) will gain useful IT knowledge and skills in the new season of the Digital Chair project. Recruitment at UrFU ended on September 23.

“Students were given six programs to choose from, and each institute offered its own set of programs. According to our data, the most popular among students was the program “Management Decision Support Methods using the Python Programming Language”, while slightly fewer students chose “ERP Management and System Analysis of an Industrial Enterprise” and “Digital Marketing in a Professional Environment”,” commented the Digital Chair training center.

Now, in addition to attending classes to learn Python and management skills, participants are expected to complete internships at the project’s partner companies. Upon graduation, those who complete the Digital Chair will receive a professional retraining diploma.
