Due to the lack of specialists in the Russian IT market, “chemists” and “lyricists” will be retrained to programmers
St. Petersburg Academic University of RAS ( SPbAU ) and Computer Science Center ( CS ) have developed an online program on the basics of programming. The program includes 12 courses. This volume is enough to make a “novice programmer out of a chemist or humanist” without basic programming knowledge, the press release says. For everyone, access to online courses will be open for free.
For a fee (12 thousand rubles a year), students will be able to discuss difficulties with assistants, will take intermediate tests and take exams. Graduates after a year of such commercial training will receive a diploma of vocational retraining at SPbAU RAS “according to the program of additional education in the field of information technologies and applied mathematics”.
However, to obtain a diploma of vocational retraining, there is another condition - you need to have a diploma of higher or secondary special education. The first graduates of the online program will appear in late June 2016, the project website says.

“Attempts to combine individual courses in specialization have been undertaken by various online platforms for some time - these are Coursera specializations, and Udacity nanodegree, and EdX X-series. In contrast, our program is designed to solve a specific, highly demanded task at the moment: starting from scratch, becoming a novice programmer in a year, ”comments Andrei Ivanov, director of investment, research and education at JetBrains and CS board member.
Mail.ru Group decided to go even further and support the development of the IT industry in the regions in the offline mode. The first city outside of Moscow, in which the company will open its own IT-school, was Saransk. The project is launched jointly with the Innovative Development Agency of the Republic of Mordovia ( AID ) and the Mordovia State University named after N. P. Ogarev.

“Over the years of successful work of Technopark and Tekhnosfera, we have gained a lot of experience in the field of educational process organization, and now we are ready to share it with our partners. Talented young specialists study not only in Moscow universities. It is important to give the children, who decided to develop IT in their native region, an idea of the best world practices adopted in the industry, ”commented Dmitry Voloshin, director of the department of research and education at Mail.Ru Group.
Schooling is free. Course duration - one and a half years. The training program will include web and mobile development, database management systems, testing, Java and a number of other disciplines.
“Mobile development today is one of the most sought-after jobs in the labor market, but truly skilled professionals in this area are not enough to meet the needs of the business. Thanks to the creation of a school of IT developers, students and graduate students will be able to obtain high-quality knowledge and become in-demand specialists, ”said the rector of Moscow State University.
