At NetLS, we believe that investing in youth is investing in the future. That’s why we’re always excited to take part in events like IT Day. For us, it’s important not only to grow our business, but also to contribute to the development of the IT-community in Ukraine. Together, we are shaping the next generation of talented IT-specialists!
On October 22, our team participated in the educational and career event - IT DAY, organized by King Danylo University. Alongside other leading IT-companies, we inspired students and university applicants to new achivements.
Our Project Manager, Yelyzaveta Soloviova, was representing our company by sharing her own experience and offering valuable advices on starting a career in IT. She spoke about her journey from a beginner to a successful project manager, discussing the challenges one might face and how to overcome them. Yelyzaveta also shared personal experience and practical insights that captivated the audience.
She emphasized that a PM is not just a manager, but a leader responsible for overseeing all stages of a project’s life cycle - from initial planning to final implementation. The PM ensures tasks are completed on time and within budget, while addressing any issues that arise during the work process.
Yelyzaveta also touched on the challenges faced by beginners in the role of a PM. These include a lack of experience, market competition, self-doubt, managing expectations, multi-tasking, balancing client and company needs and aligning them with the project’s real possibilities. She encouraged students not to fear making mistakes, to take initiative and to keep growing professionally. Her talk went beyond theory, providing valuable real-world experiences that made the presentation even more engaging and useful for university applicants.
We were pleasantly surprised by the enthusiasm and interesting questions from future students. The discussion helped us gain deeper insights into what today’s youth are interested in and assured us that the future of Ukraine’s IT-industry is in capable hands.
The most active participants in the discussion received gifts from NetLS - our branded products.
We want to thank the organizers and all participants for the wonderful atmosphere and inspiration. We look forward to future meetings!
