As ever, our goal remains aiding people in building successful careers in the digital economy. We worked to ensure that everyone deserves equal access to professional education and growth, women empowerment, promoting the balance in the IT industry.
Great careers in the digital economy are for everyone, everywhere, period. The modern career trajectory is no longer linear, nor is it defined by a singular academic achievement. The focus has shifted to a blend of hard and soft skills that more accurately represent one’s professional aptitude beyond mere diplomas.
With AI development and its implementation into many life spheres, understanding AI becomes crucial. Considering this, Beetroot Academy added additional lessons to each course:
1. Basics of AI – covers the definition of AI, its operational processes, potential applications, and key tools.
2. Successful job search with AI – guides students on effectively using AI for interview preparation, CV and cover letter enhancement, interview simulation, and job search.
In 2023, Beetroot Academy successfully launched the tutorship program – providing additional support from Academy graduates to students facing challenges during their studies. This initiative aims to enhance overall learning experiences for teachers and students, adjust the balance in groups between all students, and improve professional skills acquired by tutors.
Being a social enterprise, the Academy collaborated with numerous organizations such as UNFPA, PACT, Acted, Doing Good, RECONOMY, Finansova, IOM, and Women Opportunities and provided 700 educational scholarships to the most vulnerable groups. In these categories, it's worth mentioning newer groups such as Ukrainian refugees, veterans, and their relatives.
A word from our graduate
Beetroot Academy students have the possibility to join the alumni community. It has its own private Telegram channel where all participants have access to webinars, consultations, other online or offline events, internship and job openings from Beetroot Academy partners, updates in the IT field, and networking.
We also do our best to conduct offline events and organize different beetups, as we call them.
One of Beetroot Academy's goals is to make IT education accessible to all categories of citizens, including war veterans, their families, and families of fallen Ukrainian defenders.
Beetroot Academy, together with the Beetroot Aid Fund, organized a Project Management course for a separate group of 25 veterans and their families. They started studying in December 2023 and the results of this project will be shared in the impact report 2024.
Our communities in Romania and Moldova had set their roots in the first year of activity with 50+ students & graduates who are not only looking for a new career start but also paying attention to impact.
Now, more than ever, we need partners to join our efforts to ensure everyone has access to the opportunities presented by the digital age. You can join us in making a difference in many ways:
