FINANCING IT RE-TRAINING
MarketMakers together with development agency EDA, MF Bank and training provider partners have created a ‘zero-interest’ student loan product that allows young people to take IT courses with very high employability rates from private training providers. The scheme is open to IT companies and specialist IT training providers who can prove that their curricula and delivery approach results in excellent rates of employment among course graduates. If you offer IT training – whether you’re an IT company or a specialist training provider – please get in touch to see if you are eligible to join this scheme. |
IT SECTOR AWARENESS-RAISING
In 2019, MarketMakers’ partner, BIT Alliance, launched IT.Karijera.ba to improve the availability of IT career-related information to students, graduates, and the unemployed. It offers detailed guidance about how to get into the IT industry, what choices need to be taken, how young people can re-train and educate themselves, and what support is available to them. Above all else, it seeks to demystify IT and portray the sector as inclusive and accessible to people of diverse skillsets and backgrounds. If you have ideas on how to improve this platform, add new functionalities, and add new services, please get in touch with BIT Alliance: contact@bit-alliance.ba |
