BrainBasket Foundation prepares tech specialists to boost the market

By The Kyiv Post / January 13, 2015

While many talented tech students from Ukraine choose to pursue studies abroad at some point of their career, local market players launched a BrainBasket Foundation last year to fund free trainings for those who wish to study programming.

The first programs started in November. The goal is to prepare as many as 100,000 tech specialists by 2020, which would boost the $2 billion local information technology industry by ten times.
