The system integrator LeverX, SAP CIS and the Belarusian State Technological University signed a tripartite memorandum on the accession of the university to the University SAP Alliance. The agreement was signed at one of the most representative business conferences in Belarus - the SAP Forum Minsk, which took place on June 14, 2018. Until now, the University SAP Alliance included 5 universities of the Republic, BSTU will become the sixth participant in the program and will join the global academic network of more than 3,700 leading universities around the world.
BSTU already has experience in working with LeverX, one of the SAP partners in the country. The training of specialists, still in high school who deal with the most modern technologies and solutions from the leaders of the technological sphere, makes the university and its graduates more competitive in the country's labor market. BSTU entry into the SAP University Alliance is a confirmation of the quality of the organization of the educational process, in which the latest information technologies are applied, as well as the orientation of the university to the demands of industry leaders in highly qualified personnel.
«Training of professional personnel for the economy of Belarus, which is largely due to high technologies and the orientation of the state to new directions, is impossible without modern approaches in education, a focus on practical knowledge for students. With the new university, SAP essentially invests its resources in new specialists not only for its partner, but also for the entire high-tech industry in the country. I am confident that students' specific industry knowledge will be successfully complemented by owning advanced SAP solutions.», - noted Director of SAP CIS Representative Office in the Republic of Belarus Ilya Shulipin.
«We strive not only to give a higher education, but to prepare specialists demanded by the market. Work within the University Alliance SAP gives the university the opportunity to be at the forefront of high-tech management and modern software products, teachers - to get at their disposal the latest and most advanced software, methodological support and training courses, and students - to develop practical knowledge and innovative work approach», - noted Dean of the Faculty of Information Technology BSTU Dmitry Shiman.
«For several years now, we have been conducting free ABAP programming courses for students of technical universities, since we see enormous potential in the development of educational programs and in helping talented people in finding employment and professional growth. In 2017, the company began cooperation with the Faculty of Information Technology at BSTU. We appreciated the high level of training of BSTU students, and since then among students who have successfully completed the courses and recruited to us, the percentage of students from this university remains the highest. As part of the SAP University Alliance, we plan to expand opportunities for cooperation with the university in terms of educational programs and the training of strong specialists with advanced software development tools and technologies, as well as conducting an elective course within BSTU», - noted LeverX Director Evgeny Ponyavin.
