New season of Open IT: workshops for students and career switchers

18 September 2025

Open IT is a series of free workshops designed for those who are just starting their journey into the IT world. No dry theory or abstract advice — only practical cases from leading companies’ specialists, honest stories from personal experience, and answers to the real questions future IT professionals care about.

Last season, Open IT gathered hundreds of students and high schoolers from all over Ukraine who discovered IT from a new perspective. This season, the program is even bigger: from career advice and marketing to cybersecurity, blockchain, and DevOps. 🚀
