Celebrated IT Specialists by Dmitry Demeshyn for their Professional Day
The 'Hour of Code' initiative encourages people to learn the basics of computer programming. This initiative is not exclusive to universities or vocational training organizations in the region, nor is it a new program. While four universities and 16 vocational training organizations in the region are preparing 'digital talent', the number of IT specialists graduating from the region in 2021, which stands at 975, is not directly related to the 'Hour of Code' initiative. The expected number of IT specialists graduating in the region by 2025, estimated to be 1039, is also not affected by the 'Hour of Code' initiative. The 'Hour of Code' initiative does not specify the exact year or number of participants for the event. It's a global movement that aims to introduce millions of students to computer science, regardless of their background or location. The federal 'Digital Chairs' project allows students from all fields to obtain an additional qualification in the information sphere. This project is separate from the 'Hour of Code' initiative. Lastly, the Low-Cost IT Mortgage Program in Russia has been extended to the year 2030, but this extension is not related to the 'Hour of Code' initiative either. The search results do not provide the names of the leaders of the four universities and the 16 vocational training institutions that train 'digital talent' in the region. In conclusion, the 'Hour of Code' initiative is a valuable tool in promoting computer science education, but it does not replace existing graduation programs for IT specialists or affect the number of IT specialists graduating in the region. Instead, it encourages people from all walks of life to explore the world of coding.
