The halls of PICS@ FESB resonated with the sounds of accomplishment and the bright future of technology. The JUNIOR Dev React program, a beacon of free professional education, marked its grand finale with a ceremony honoring the hard work and dedication of its participants.
The third generation of this esteemed program began in February, with a rigorous selection process that narrowed down 140 candidates to 73 eager learners, divided into four groups. Over six weeks of interactive lectures, these students mastered the intricacies of React, guided by seasoned experts from the AI Compile team, Goran Zaharija as well as Ante Bartulović, Lovre Trogrlić, and Luka Smolčić
Damir Brčić, the leader of Digital Dalmatia, expressed his gratitude to FESB and Locastic for their partnership and support, as well as to Split Tech City for media coverage. He emphasized the importance of equipping young talents with the skills needed to thrive in the digital age.
A panel discussion featuring industry leaders Antonio Perić-Mažar (Locastic), Suzana Špika (Postindustria), and Goran Škugor (Ericsson Nikola Tesla) provided valuable insights into the job market and the opportunities for young developers. They unanimously agreed on one thing – persistence is key. With technology rapidly evolving, so does the job market landscape.
The event concluded with the distribution of diplomas and a networking session, celebrating the successful completion of the program and the acquisition of new skills. Digital Dalmatia continues to play a pivotal role in developing the local IT scene and opening new career opportunities.
As we look forward to the future, AI Compile members remain committed to supporting and strengthening the local IT community and fostering innovation in the region.
