Telia Lietuva launches a training programme, Telia IT Akademija, intended for young specialists who would like to work in the areas of IT services management or business applications. This year, the first 30 selected candidates will start a half-a-year-long training programme. The best will be invited to work for Telia Lietuva permanently.

'Today, the situation in the labour market is especially competitive: good IT specialists have to be fought for, while the demand for these specialists in Lithuania grows especially rapidly. Seeing such a situation, we have started taking action - we want to invest and train young people ourselves. At Telia Lietuva, we employ a team of experienced IT professionals, which is ready to share its knowledge with others. This programme will also enable us to grow competent future employees, who will be able to successfully join the dynamic telecommunications sector,' says Ramūnas Bagdonas, Head of the Human Resources at Telia Lietuva.

The total length of the training programme Telia IT Akademija will be 6 months. It will include theoretical and practical training. The students of the programme will be able to choose from two training directions - IT services management and SAP. The latter one is unique, and it is offered to students exclusively by Telia IT Akademija.

To the most ambitious students, Telia Lietuva will offer paid three-month traineeships, which will conclude the whole training. Besides, according to R. Bagdonas, this programme provides an excellent career platform for young specialists, because the best will be invited to join the company's team of IT professionals.

'It is difficult to become a professional receiving only university education. The purpose of our training is to enable practical application of knowledge and skills, because such improvement is most efficient and most motivating,' says R. Bagdonas.

Those willing to join Telia IT Akademija may send their CV and a brief motivational letter to the company by 15 October. The plan is to start training on 26 October.
