One of the goals of Adastra Academy is to unite all our internal and external efforts to share the accumulated knowledge. Our external initiatives are aimed at working with universities so that everyone interested in the IT industry can be informed and prepared to maximum extend when entering the labor market.
On the other hand, we support higher education to be aligned with the requirements of the real business. For this reason, we keep organizing our initiatives such as online lectures, workshops, open courses etc. Here are some of them in a nutshell:
Big Data Workshop
This workshop, specially organized for Master students at the University of Economics – Varna, was hosted online by our colleague Milen Marinov. It is done for a third consecutive year and this time it took place during the period from November 10th to November 19th. During the first part of the course Milen covered theoretical topics while the second part were practical hands–on exercises on Big Data technologies.
