VK Education introduces schoolchildren to digital professions in the online camp „IT-diving“
VK Education has launched enrollment for a free summer career guidance session in the online camp „IT-diving,“ which will take place from August 5 to 18. Under the guidance of VK experts, participants in „IT-diving“ will explore promising IT and digital directions such as machine learning, development, creativity, project management, and product management. Students in grades 7-11 from any town in Russia can participate.
The career guidance online camp „IT-diving“ will consist of four sessions, each planned during school holidays. Each session is divided into two parts – open and closed. During the open part in the first week, students will learn about in-demand digital fields, meet VK experts, and try their hand at being IT and digital specialists. Participants can engage in educational and entertaining activities, earning points for their participation. The open part is available to all interested individuals in the VKontakte community.
Those who accumulate enough points will have the opportunity to join the closed part of the program. They will also need to undergo career guidance testing – the results will help determine their direction. Participants will then work on cases in their chosen field, receive feedback, and attend masterclasses from VK experts. Students who successfully complete the program will receive certificates and merchandise from VK Education.
„We have relaunched ‚IT-diving‘ in a new format – it is now not just an online practice but a real career guidance online camp. Students can participate in the project four times a year and try their hand at various professions in high-demand fields. This is a great scenario for holidays – especially since the ‚IT-diving‘ program includes not only educational but also entertaining activities,“ comments Anna Stepanova, Deputy Vice President for Educational Projects at VK.
You can join the summer session until August 11. To participate in the summer online program „IT-diving,“ you need to register in the chatbot.
In conclusion, VK Education’s „IT-diving“ online camp offers an exciting opportunity for schoolchildren to explore digital professions, gain practical experience, and receive guidance from industry experts. The structured program, divided into open and closed parts, ensures a comprehensive learning experience and the chance to discover and develop skills in various IT and digital fields.
