On November 3, 2025, an extremely inspiring career guidance session was held for students of grades 9–11, breaking all stereotypes about IT!
Vladyslav Dzinzyura, a 6th-year student of group KN-M524, shared his personal experience with students of the Taras Shevchenko Lyceum of the Kropyvnytskyi City Council. Vladyslav studies at the National Technical University “Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute” while simultaneously working for the major company 1+1 Media (product Kyivstar TV).
During the session, he explored the topic “What is IT? (Spoiler: it’s not just coding)”, explaining that the modern IT industry includes not only programmers but also designers, analysts, managers, testers, marketers, and many other professionals.
