28 February 2023 y.

Intellias has been recognized as one of the Ukrainian employers who is most open to hiring young professionals under 25. This year’s rating by a youth organization STUD POINT includes Ukrainian companies that not only support the economy and the Armed Forces of Ukraine but also create opportunities for startups in the IT field. The main objective of the STUD POINT rating is to encourage companies to hire young professionals. The key criterion by which employers are evaluated is their openness to candidates under age 25. Educational initiatives for beginners in IT is a focus area for Intellias. The company runs training programs, cooperates with universities, organizes regular technical and non-technical webinars, and launches marathons, hackathons, and case championships. Intellias encourages a growth mindset, giving young professionals lots of opportunities for career growth. In 2021, Intellias launched the IntelliStart educational hub with two training options available: a practical IT school and bootcamps. The practical IntelliStart school offers relevant educational programs in frontend development, Java, .NET, DevOps, software testing, Golang, and more. IntelliStart is designed for university students, university graduates with technical degrees, and people who study IT on their own. If applicants already have practical experience in the field, they are advised to join bootcamps, which offer full-time employment opportunities along with guidance from the company’s best experts. Additionally, Intellias has a Juniors Hiring Program. This is an internship, during which junior developers can work on projects under the mentorship of the company’s experienced engineers.

“One of the Intellias missions is to help today’s professionals and future professionals grow and develop. The growth mindset that we apply at Intellias offers people many opportunities for development. Our engineers are also happy to share their own experiences with younger colleagues. By becoming mentors in educational projects and training programs, engineers help junior professionals successfully start their careers. Nurturing talent is key to the development of the IT sphere in Ukraine.” — Roman Gapachilo, VP, Talent Management at Intellias.
