2018-2020m. We participated in the international Digital Explorers project as an education provider, the goal of which is to build digital bridges between Lithuania and Nigeria. The project offered a one-year career path during which 50 young Nigerian talents improved their programming knowledge in Lithuanian ICT companies.

In two years of operation, IT competencies were provided to more than 1,000 mothers in seven EU countries. The aim of the project is to update the job qualification skills of women on maternity or parental leave, as well as to provide them with the necessary digital competences or to help them prepare for starting their own business.  

We are contributing to an inspiring project! The national LGBT organization LGL organizes IT courses that help young people under the age of 29 who are not studying and cannot find work for a long time to find employment in the IT sector.  

We organized an international “UX challenge” hackathon based on a design sprint, in which young professionals in their field gathered in teams to solve the challenges posed by companies. Within a two-day period, students managed to create interactive prototypes, test them with real users and present them to the commission, which selected the winners.  

In order to draw attention to the need for faster digital challenge in the country’s regions, the Lithuanian Business Confederation together with the programming academy CodeAcademy and the international management consulting company CIVITTA also conducts digital marketing training for small business employees in Šiauliai, Telšiai, Panevėžys, Utena, Marijampolė and Alytus districts. During the project, 226 professionals of sales, marketing and public relations will have the opportunity to acquire valuable skills and apply them to increase the competitiveness of companies.

The “Kompetencija 2” project, together with “Aciety”, aims to develop the competencies of employees in companies operating in the IT sector in their field of activity. “Aciety” is a fast-growing search engine and partner network for IT companies providing services and IT products, uniting more than 900 European IT companies employing over 65,000 programmers.  

We have been successfully working with the Lithuanian Employment Service since 2017, during which time we taught more than 1,000 people. Individuals whose training has been funded by the ES can choose between informal and formal vocational programs, as well as working on the principle of apprenticeship, when we find an employer for the student before the training.  

In 2018, we participated in the European Union project “MakesMeDigital”, organized together with the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (Spain), with the aim of training digital marketing specialists.
