Sitronics Group continues to train DevOps engineers at VSU. The course developed by the company’s IT specialists has been very popular: over 50 students enrolled for the course during the first stage of training in 2023. Sitronics Group and VSU have agreed to add the course to the obligatory curriculum for third-year students from the Faculty of Computer Science. At the end of the course, the students will have to take a test.
According to the Voronezh Development Centre of Sitronics Group, the course will be finalised with due account of the current state of the IT industry in Russia. The authors promise to adjust the programme by the new academic year. The list of topics related to computer networks and Linux OS will be expanded and new sections related to security and information protection will be added to the course.
“The course provides young professionals with the opportunity to gain applied skills, advance their qualification, and, as a result, to have an edge on the job seeker’s market. This year, the course was not compulsory. But those students who completed it and had an interview with a qualified DevOps engineer from the Moscow office received certificates proving that they had completed the course. Two students who demonstrated excellent results were invited to work in the Voronezh division of Sitronics Group,” said Evgeny Kosykh, the author of the course, senior development engineer at the Voronezh Development Centre of Sitronics Group.
The course created by Sitronics Group IT specialists consists of 16 theoretical and practical classes. Students from the Faculty of Computer Sciences of VSU were taught to solve the key tasks of a DevOps engineer: working with Linux servers, virtual machines, automation of software development, monitoring, and quality control.
“At the Faculty of Computer Science, we pay a lot of attention to the practical training of our students. Adding the DevOps-Engineering training course by Sitronics Group to the main education programme in the area of Software Engineering will enable students to obtain relevant competencies by learning from world-class practising professionals,” said Alexander Krylovetsky, Dean of the Faculty of Computer Sciences.
