Graduation ceremony of the BURY SOFT ACADEMY
The BURY company, following the example of the Volkswagen Group, launched an innovative educational initiative for its employees at the beginning of 2022. The offered project of training programmers based on the company’s staff of employees met with great interest. The 40 places prepared by the employer quickly found those willing to improve their skills. It is worth mentioning that the project did not aim only at people with higher education and experience in information technology. The initiative was primarily an opportunity for talented individuals to gain knowledge in embedded systems programming, for whom interest, enthusiasm and belief in their abilities were enough to start their education.

The three-semester study included theoretical and practical classes of about 350 teaching hours. According to the agreement, BURY entrusted the education of their BSA students to the staff of the Center for Practical Training and Teacher Training in Mielec. It is an institution with great traditions and experience in training professional personnel for the needs of the local industry. The realization of the program built together with BURY’s development department is being completed with classes taught by our programmers.
