By the fourth month of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine by Russian troops, businesses and enterprises are gradually recovering from critical changes and increasing production. The IT sector, as an industry that has proved to be quite stable, even lacks qualified personnel. There are several reasons for this:
According to a survey conducted by the IT Association of Ukraine, 3% of employees of IT companies joined the Armed Forces, others (and their number cannot be counted) joined the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the analysis of the Yale School of Management, activities in Russia have been completely or partially stopped by about 1,000 companies, including giants such as UBER, Grammarly, Nokia, Fortinex, Vodaphone. They and other technology companies support the Ukrainian IT sector, so our specialists will gain a significant advantage in the global market.
The Ukrainian offline business, which survived quarantine and struggled to recover, finally understood the importance of an online presence after the war. And this gives additional outsourcing demand from those companies that previously did not need the services of IT companies.
Ginny’s statistics for April indicate an increase in the number of vacancies: 20,000 specialists are currently needed by the Ukrainian IT industry. February’s 27,000 proposals are still far away, but companies are confidently advancing to that mark. Above all, there is a lack:
1. Data Science
2. Data Engineers
3. Python
4. Project Managers
5. DevOps Engineers
To make up for the shortage of staff, as well as to give everyone the opportunity to join the IT sector, many companies, as on the eve of the war, offer interesting training programs.
A little about the benefits of an internship in IT:
- Gaining real experience and professional skills that help build a career.
2. Interesting acquaintances with qualified specialists and immersion in work processes.
3. Study not current but future technologies.
4. Communicating with a mentor during the internship gives many benefits: from discovering your potential to determining your software and hard skills.
5. Getting valuable contacts and recommendations for future employment.
