The first stage of training in the T1 IT camp started on July 8. As it was found out by the T1 IT holding, 25% of students of Novosibirsk technical universities associate their career future with system analytics. Statistics based on the assessment of the popularity of the IT holding's educational programs, the professional priorities of future IT specialists in Novosibirsk reflect the general trend in the country – system analytics is the leader in many regions, including Moscow, St. Petersburg, Yekaterinburg and Izhevsk. The second and third places in popularity were taken by backend and frontend development – these tracks were chosen by 23% and 17% of future IT specialists, respectively. Also in demand among young people are the specialties of tester and application administrator.
The bootcamp participants included 144 students from Novosibirsk. The largest number of students came from Novosibirsk State University — 42 students were enrolled in the IT camp. This is due to the fact that NSU is focused on practice-oriented learning. For several years now, IT holding T1 has been a strategic partner of the university — the company's employees participate in the development of training courses and give lectures, conduct career guidance events and train teachers to work with new digital tools. Over the past six months, more than 3,000 NSU students have attended events organized in partnership with T1.
Future IT specialists in the IT camp will be able to gain "combat experience" by solving real business problems. Experience is one of the most important criteria for employers when hiring. In 2025, the holding's initiative collected a record number of applications – more than 7,000, which is 2.5 times more than last year. Almost 3,000 candidates passed the entrance test, and 1,535 people were accepted to the educational intensive.
The IT camp is taught in a hybrid format. At the first stage, participants undergo online training, including lectures from T1 experts, master classes on developing technical and soft skills, and analysis of practical tasks. The second stage is project work: participants will unite in teams to develop real solutions under the guidance of experienced mentors. The IT camp will end with an in-person final. It will take place on August 28 in three cities – Novosibirsk, Moscow, and Yekaterinburg. All students will receive certificates of participation, and the most successful will be invited to an internship at the company. Last year, 80% of the camp participants became T1 interns.
— To quickly start a career, graduates of even top IT universities often lack practical skills and a general understanding of the trajectory of professional movement. To help young specialists overcome this barrier, we create an environment that brings together young people and expert practitioners who are implementing ambitious digital transformation projects today. This transfer of living knowledge is the basis of the T1 IT camp and our other educational projects, — commented Dmitry Kharitonov, First Deputy General Director of T1 IT holding.
