Competition for training providers in the field of IT retraining

The competition aims to support organisations/institutions that will offer the program of retraining or training in the field of information technologies for employees who are interested in changing professions and work in the information technology sector.

This retraining circuit is designed and adapted to employees who want to change their careers and start a new one in the IT sector. In the following week, a competition will be announced for potential attendees.

"In this round of retraining, our aim is, besides learning standard programming languages, to enable future attendees to pass software testing training.  Innovation in teaching will be appreciated at the competition, and lectures will be adapted to the employees and will be held on weekends and weekdays after 6 p.m. The program will last nine months and will include compulsory practice in companies," said Mihailo Jovanović, Ph.D., Director of IT and eGovernment Office.

He added that the IT Retraining Program was launched in 2017 at the initiative of the Prime Minister, Ana Brnabić. So far, two retraining rounds for employees and unemployed have been completed by 800 attendees, while the third round, intended exclusively for the unemployed, is in progress. Now, within the third round, we are launching  a call for employees who want to change their profession and to get trained in the information technology sector as well.
