The Union of Information Technology Enterprises organizes regular meetings with IT companies aimed to implement a number of projects in the school educational system of the Republic of Armenia. “Armenpress” reports that joining the project the IT companies obtain an opportunity to cooperate with the schools of Armenia, choose their future employees from an early age and promote their professional skills.
