VITEBSK, 17 February (BelTA) – Mobile programming may promote cooperation of Belarusian and Indian IT-specialists, BelTA learned from Apoorva Kohli, representative of the Technical Council of the Center of Development of Advanced Computers (CDAC). He is set to visit a regional office of the Belarus-India IT training center, which was established at the Piotr Masherov Vitebsk State University.
According to Apoorva Kohli, Belarus' High-Tech Park plays a crucial role in the development of information technologies in the country. Cooperating with Indian specialists, Belarus will get access to the recent IT achievements. Mobile programming is one of the most promising industries, in particular, the Android platform and the Linux operating system. “In these areas CDAD may organize training for Belarusian students in India,” Apoorva Kohli added.
The regional office of the Belarus-India IT training center was established within the framework of the project carried out by the High-Tech Park with the assistance of the Indian CDAC. The office was opened at the mathematics department in order to upgrade professional skills of IT-specialists and teachers of the university. A special class for ten students provides information and communication technologies. The students can take part in video- and online conferences organized by the High-Tech Park and learn about current trends in the IT industry.
According to HTP Administration Deputy Director Alexander Martinkevich, the project is unique because it attracts qualified teachers from Belarus and abroad. Their lectures will be available for students from Minsk and other cities. Moreover, students and specialists have an opportunity to study disciplines included in the curriculum on their own. After this training IT specialists will be welcomed by the HTP resident companies which have offices in Belarus’ major cities. These companies are interested in attracting qualified specialists, Alexander Martinkevich said.
