Rzeszów University of Technology to educate IT specjalists in cooperation with Asseco Poland

Rzeszów University of Technology is expanding its teaching program for students of Computer Science. Specialists from Asseco Poland will provide a course on enterprise-class IT systems.

During the academic year 2014/2015, students majoring in Computer Science at Rzeszów University of Technology will have an opportunity to develop their skills in the preparation of IT solutions for large business organizations. The optional course called “Enterprise-Class IT Systems” will be taught by specialists from Asseco Poland, the largest producer of software in Poland.

“Close cooperation between universities and business organizations is the key to provide students with the skills that are most demanded in the labour market. This is a valuable initiative from the point of view of our students,” says Professor Marek Orkisz, Rector of Rzeszów University of Technology.

The course is optional, so it is dedicated especially to those students who want to get engaged in the development of software applications for enterprises and public institutions in the future. In addition to conducting lectures and laboratory classes, Rzeszów University of Technology intends to cooperate with Asseco Poland in the assessment of master’s dissertations and doctoral theses in the field of computer science. This cooperation may also include joint research projects and initiatives aimed at promoting computer science.

“Implementation of complex IT projects in accordance with the requirements of large organizations is a unique competence of Asseco. For us, the cooperation with Rzeszów University of Technology is a chance to get in touch with future IT specialists, with the possibility of hosting student internships and job practices. Students demonstrating the potential and desire for development can expect to receive attractive jobs offers,” says Maciej Mierzejewski, Human Resources Director at Asseco Poland.

The cooperation between Rzeszów University of Technology and Asseco Poland is intended to promote joint initiatives of academic and business communities, as well as to adopt a practical approach in teaching information technology students at the University.

Asseco Poland has been actively involved in education projects for many years. Currently, the company cooperates with the Warsaw University of Life Sciences where Asseco specialists run a series of practical classes related to the implementation of IT projects. Whereas, at the University of Information Technology and Management in Rzeszów, the company’s experts teach the courses of Software Engineering and Business Analysis.
