Proekspert<\/a> will take a key partnership role in the\u00a0kood\/J\u00f5hvi school created for any person over the age of 18 seeking opportunities in the IT sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Proekspert announced in October that it will take a key partnership role in the kood\/J\u00f5hvi<\/a>* school, Estonia\u2019s international coding school created for any person over the age of 18 seeking opportunities in the IT sector. (*\u201dkood\u201d is Estonian for \u201ccode,\u201d and J\u00f5hvi is the city in eastern Estonia where the school is located.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school is open to anyone who wants to enter the world of tech or further develop their existing skill set. The school creates full-stack developers with an extra six months of specialization in a given field. This is done through practical and project-based assignments where students solve real problems and learn more than just how to write code. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

kood\/J\u00f5hvi is a bold initiative undertaken by founders from Estonia’s top IT companies to address the chronic labor shortage in Estonia\u2019s IT sector. In a sense, Estonia has been a victim of its own success, boasting hundreds of successful tech startups, in addition to its world famous unicorns. Rather than look to government to solve the problem, the nation\u2019s IT sector has partnered with the public sector to address the issue. The school is free to qualifying students and no tuition is charged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a key partner in the program, Proekspert will collaborate with the school to build the embedded engineering specialization module for kood\/J\u00f5hvi. Once a student has learned the basics of coding, they will have the opportunity to specialize by choosing from a number of module options. \u201cSince Proekspert\u2019s recognized strength is making things smart (the internet of things), it\u2019s only natural that we\u2019d build the embedded engineering module,\u201d said Tiina Sakkos, Proekspert\u2019s Chief Culture and HR Officer. \u201cWe\u2019re also discussing the possibility of creating a module in service design since that\u2019s another area where we excel.\u201d Proekspert also plans to contribute by delivering lectures<\/a> and organizing hackathons. \u201cAs with all our partners, we hope to see a long future and finding the best possible ways of changing the future of education in Estonia. Proekspert is a great help in our mission to further develop A-tier developers in Estonia.\u201d Karin K\u00fcnnapas, kood\/J\u00f5hvi’s Head of School.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through collaborative project-based learning, students will be able to use the school\u2019s two-year program to future proof their existing careers, or even begin a new career as a software engineer. On September 13 of this year, the school\u2019s first class of 215 began their studies. The school operates on a cloud-based learning platform, where each student moves at their own pace, solving the tasks set by the system, linking theory to practice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The school is supported by the State Shared Service Center<\/a> and the Ministry of Finance. The school is also supported by dozens of private individuals, companies and organizations. In addition to Proekspert, supporters include organizations such as Bolt, Wise, SEB, LHV, Superangel, Astrec Data, Pipedrive, Confido, Viru Keemia Grupp, Microsoft, Admirals, Adcash, Kaamos, the Estonian Founders Society<\/a>, the Good Deed Education Fund, <\/a> and Startup Estonia. The private-sector contribution to the project is over 700,000 euros to the project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs a bossless company, we strongly identify with the 01 Edu System<\/a>, a collaborative project-based learning methodology, which is the core of kood\/J\u00f5hvi,\u201d says Proekspert\u2019s Tiina Sakkos. \u201cNo teachers, no classes, no courses. The 01 Edu System offers proven peer-to-peer pedagogy, revealing the best creative coders through constructive socio-cognitive conflict in a caring atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
