Green Fox has become a strong international company and is building a regional IT talent pool. We have international courses and provide international opportunities for our students and corporate partners. We continue to build our market-leading role in the Czech Republic and Slovakia.
In a year and a half, starting in 2021, we built the strongest brand of the Slovak IT education market, and based on the success of online education, we opened our second foreign office in Bratislava this summer. Green Fox Academy is the market leader in both the Czech Republic and Slovakia in terms of job-guaranteed short-cycle IT courses, based on the number of students hired and placed on the labor market. In the meantime, we have launched our largest international course and are strengthening our regional corporate partnerships.
"Since 2018, we have increased the number of our students in the Czech Republic by nearly 100% every year. Thus, last year we became market leaders in the Czech Republic and entered into Slovakia by making our online software developer course available to Slovak students."
- said Kristóf Bárdos, co-founder and CEO of Green Fox Academy.
We achieved an outstanding result in 2021: we generated a total sales revenue of HUF 250 million in the two countries. We expect further growth this year, to double the number of students in both countries and introduce the same corporate bootcamp model which is already successful in Hungary.
The rapid digitization of the economy is a global trend, and the IT labor market has also become international, and typically international project teams work remotely on major developments. In addition to software development knowledge, English language knowledge and, for example, strong cooperation and communication skills have become more valuable.
"We have reached an international level in terms of building an IT talent pool and education as well. We consider the Hungarian, Czech and Slovak labor markets as a unit, and provide cross-border opportunities for our students and corporate partners."
- emphasized Kristóf Bárdos.
In March, we launched our first English-language international software developer course and at the same time introduced more specializations. In addition to Back-end and Full-stack programming, we also train professionals in the fields of Salesforce, ServiceNow, and Data Engineering.
"With 174 students, our first international cohort is the largest in the history of Green Fox, and they are already preparing for their final exams in August 2022. 19 mentors support them in learning programming, preparing for real work situations, practicing agile methodology and continuous self-training techniques. On top of that, we put a great emphasis on the development of English language knowledge, online teamwork and personal competences. Thanks to this comprehensive training program, our graduates can be successful in an international environment."
- added Kristóf Bárdos, CEO of Green Fox Academy.
Legyünk őszinték, sokunk számára vonzónak tűnik az IT terület, de ugyanakkor kicsit tartunk is tőle a nehézsége miatt. Egy jól működő kód megírása sok IT szektoron kívüli ember számára teljesen lehetetlennek tűnik. De gondoltál már arra, hogy kódolás nélkül is kezdhetsz informatikai karrierbe?
Kádár Barnabás azért vágott bele a kódolásba társadalomtudósként, hogy reálosabb pozíciókban tudjon elhelyezkedni. Erről 2020 decemberében mesélt nekünk, azóta tapasztalt Data Engineerré vált, és ma már ő maga is tart oktatásokat a Python programozásról. Mivel foglalkozik egy Data Engineer, milyen skillekre van szüksége, és kinek érdemes ezt a karrierutat választani? Ismerd meg jobban a Data Engineering területet Barni történetén keresztül!
A karrierváltás messze nem olyan ijesztő, mint sokan gondolják: következő interjúalanyunk sztorija is erről árulkodik. Bence korábbi munkahelyén már dolgozott vállalatirányítási rendszerekkel, így nem is volt kérdés, milyen karrierúton induljon a Green Fox-nál. Mi motiválta arra, hogy belevágjon a Microsoft technológián alapuló képzésünkbe, és mit szeret a legjobban új munkájában? Cikkünkből minden kiderül!
A technológiai trendek által előidézett iparági változások a kihívások mellett lehetőséget kínálnak a vállalatok számára, hogy növeljék bevételi forrásaikat. Ahhoz azonban, hogy az élen maradjanak, a szervezeteknek lépést kell tartaniuk a fejlődő technológiával, alkalmazottaiknak pedig a szükséges készségekkel.
Az informatikai vállalatok esetében tapasztalt növekedési kényszer napjainkra a munkaerőpiacon érezteti hatását. A nők aktív bevonása az IT szektorba nem csupán a szakemberhiány enyhítésében játszhat kiemelkedő szerepet, de hozzájárulhat a sokszínűbb munkahelyi közösség kialakításához, serkentve a csapatmunkát és a produktivitást.
“Someone stole some code from Python God, please help me find it!” - Fanni Fulmer, the storyteller girl, presented her Friday demo tasks at Green Fox embedded in stories after abandoning her career as a nursery-teacher and becoming a programmer. She said it feels good to get a few smiles out of the JavaScript class after a grueling weekend.
The popularity of low-code platforms is increasing in the whole world, and the demand for experts in this field is growing rapidly. Nikolett Tarjáni-Dobos left her dietician career to become a software developer and has been working as a low-code programmer in Germany for almost 2 years. She first heard about this field when she was looking for a job. Yet, she now feels lucky that this became her new career. But what does a low-code developer do and how does a working day go? We asked Niki about these topics as well as about the misconceptions around low-coding.
He studied to be a lawyer and became a dental technician. Then he realized that due to the incredible advancements in technology, there would be an ever-decreasing demand for human work. Richárd Szabó completed the Green Fox course and has been working as a junior developer for the past one year. He managed to fully realize his plan to start working in his new career before he turns 30.
Besides challenges, the changes in the industry brought about by technological trends also present opportunities for companies to increase their revenue streams. However, if they want to stay ahead, organisations must keep pace with evolving technology, and their employees must have the necessary skills.
In cooperation with our corporate partner, Morgan Stanley Budapest, we are launching an exceptional scholarship program in April 2022. Within the framework of Java Academy corporate boot camp, we are choosing 15 talented students interested in Java and server-side programming and giving them the chance to restart their careers as back-end developers – for free.
