We have just announced the launch our first Feature Integrator Academy od the year. But do you know what the role is about and why you can only find it at ICT Strypes?
We are giving the opportunity for a career transformation and a fast track to success in the IT world for candidates with various or no professional background: students, recent graduates, or professionals from other industries looking for a new challenge.
The application deadline is 17th of September and here is why you shouldn’t miss it in case you have ever wondered whether you will make it as an IT professional.
What Does a Feature Integrator Do?
We consider this role as key for our biggest client – the world’s leading manufacturer of lithographic equipment used in the production of microchips. A feature integrator is responsible for gathering and unifying software components before integrating them into a working environment and assuring of their quality. Knowledge and experience in programming are not required, while much more important is the ability for collaboration and effective communication with developers and end users of the software product.
Your Upskilling Opportunity in IT
Pavel Yosifov took part in one of the editions of the Feature Integrator Academy, but already had previous experience as an IT Support Specialist. His interests in programming date back since school age when he used to learn and explore coding on his own. Initially, he wanted to work as a QA, but after hearing about Strypes Lab, he didn’t want to miss the opportunity.
“I have been part of other IT academies, but never found one with a better structure, resources, and responsive lecturers. It turned out to be the best opportunity to challenge myself, to gain new knowledge, and to explore new programming languages and functionalities”.
“My first impression was on the dynamics and the detailed approach that helped us build a solid foundation for the work itself and for the company culture. At Strypes Lab you learn how important it is to follow processes, to collaborate with your team, to communicate with impact, and to apply your knowledge and skills adding real value for your client. I see the Feature Integrator Academy as a wonderful re-skilling and up-skilling opportunity providing everything you need to make a smooth career transition to the IT world.” – shares Pavel.
A Chance for a New Career Beginning
Unlike Pavel, Radoslav Hristov did not have a background in IT before exploring various opportunities in Bulgaria and abroad and discovering his interest in the QA role.
“I tried several IT courses before seeing ICT Strypes’ announcement for the Feature Integrator Academy. It all sounded too good to be true! I was quite impressed by the teachers, the colleagues, and the company environment. My initial anxiety was quickly replaced by the excitement of being here!”
“Working with Linux and virtual machines was new to me but quickly became one of the most useful skills in my daily work. However, there are some things more important than technical skills and knowledge if you want to succeed here: soft skills, communication, collaboration, and team spirit which are vital for success both in the Academy and in your future role as a Future Integrator.” – tells us Radoslav.
Full Career Transformation
And what if you have never been into IT and programming? Do you think you can still have a chance?
Let’s ask Simona Stoyanova who joined us from the aviation sector making a complete transformation in her career path just like many colleagues of ours – musicians, athletes, sports players or technicians in their previous roles.
“I was interested in the role of a QA because of my ability to observe and spot the details. After joining the Feature Integrator Academy I soon realized the huge impact it may have on my future with the potential to gain complex knowledge and build a solid base to grow a career in IT. What I like the most about the academy is the chance to observe ICT Strypes’ culture and people whom you would work with, and get their support and guidance. I would highly recommend the Feature Integrator courses as great re-skilling and up-skilling opportunities, even if you have never worked in IT. ICT Strypes Lab can help you adapt, understand whether this is your thing, and learn while you are still on your current daily routine.” – adds Simona.
