For this reason, the “One Million Uzbek Coders” project was launched in 2019, which trains young people in data analysis, android development, frontend and backend development.

After graduation, applicants will already have an understanding of what information technology is and why it is worth learning. The main advantage of studying at IT Park University will be that the leaders of over 450 resident companies will be ready to employ diligent students and in every possible way support them on the way to becoming experienced specialists. Thus, young people will have the full opportunity to grow and develop within the IT Park ecosystem - from school to employment”, - said Director of IT Park Farhod Ibragimov.

In November of this year, IT Park representatives plan to take part in a digital forum in Bangladesh for a closer acquaintance with the activities of the American International University of Bangladesh, where they will have an opportunity to share experience and knowledge in the field of information technology and education.

Participation in such conferences allows us to establish close partnerships with the world's leading IT companies for the further development of the information technology sector of our country and the formation of a startup ecosystem. Young people will be able to find mentors as experienced IT specialists, they will be able to work on their own IT projects on their own and contribute to the economical development of Uzbekistan!
