Continuous professional training of specialists of the ЕP “Information technologies in business”

The ability to continuously learn is the skill of the future! Therefore, in today’s conditions, the educational process of students takes place not only in classrooms and online platforms Moodle or Teams, but also with the use of specialized non-formal education.

During October 2023, students of the 4th year of the OPP “Information technologies in business” specialty 051 “Economics” were trained in the online course “Creation and development of IT products” from the Ukrainian co-founding IT company Genesis.

The course is aimed at the development of IT entrepreneurship and the field of product IT in Ukraine.

Students during their studies:

1) acquired basic knowledge of product IT, entrepreneurship and product management;

2) have acquired the competencies necessary for the first steps in a product IT company or starting their own product IT business, in particular regarding:

• organization of the product development cycle and processes in the product team;
• subtleties of product design;
• working with market and target audience analysis tools;
• carrying out various marketing activities in product IT;
• research of user behavior in an online product (product analytics);
