Computools’ expertise-sharing approach lies at the heart of the staff development plan. Employee growth and development results from constant connection between mature experts and younger generations of specialists that aspire to adopt their knowledge. Computools assigns the best professionals with relevant expertise and knowledge to work on software projects and create flawless digital products tailored to the client’s needs.
Computools collaborates with leading universities across Ukraine and Poland, including the “University of Artificial Intelligence and Digitalization” in Kyiv, the National University “Odesa Polytechnic” in Odesa, the “Ivano-Frankivsk National Technical University of Oil and Gas” in Ivano-Frankivsk, and the “Don State Technical University” in Dnipro. In Poland, Computools partners with prominent technical universities such as the “Warsaw University of Technology”, “Wrocław University of Science and Technology”, and “Lodz University of Technology”. Additionally, Computools has opened a center for Software Innovation and Research hosted at the National University “Zaporizhzhia Polytechnic,” the biggest regional educational institution. The partnership is focused on engaging the most promising young students keen on building an IT career in Computools’ internship program. The IT partner-university collaboration takes place annually, with more young professionals getting hired at Computools.
The staff training and development program creates a favorable ground for learners to collect theoretical knowledge and gain hands-on experience from the best Computools’ specialists. The internship lasts 1 to 3 months, depending on the trainee’s capabilities and level of education. Every intern receives an individual development plan aimed to improve their skills and is assigned to a mentor whose responsibility is to enable and support the trainee’s development and progress.
The candidates studying with excellence and showing superior potential are offered to take a place in Computtols’ team upon the internship completion. The tech talents laboratory continues its operation with a view of discovering more outstanding individuals aspiring to become IT professionals.
A one-to-one (1:1) meeting is a monthly performance-monitoring practice aimed at reviewing the employee’s achievements and discussing work-related issues connected to their job responsibilities. One-to-one meetings allow only an employee and their manager in a conversation in which they speak of the employee’s professional hurdles and career opportunities.
An individual development plan is a basic staff development activity designed to align employee growth and development with the company’s objectives. IDPs are actively used across all departments and act as a basis in the employee-supervisor relationship. A standard IDP covers an employee’s mission, career goal, and short-term and long-term objectives. The IDP’s role in Computools’ training ecosystem is to assist personnel in faster and smoother career development.
Computools encourages employees to improve their competencies within the company as well as through participation in external certificate programs. Both approaches allow employees to upgrade their skills during online and/or offline learning as a result of which they can bring more value to the company. Every received certification promotes an employee up a career ladder and empowers them to apply for a higher job role.
The employee training and development system is equally focused on assisting personnel in participating in conferences, workshops, seminars, and other academic events that help employees develop their hard and soft skills and fill the skills gap. Regular involvement in academic events has proved to keep personnel interested in their job positions and growing into subject-matter experts.
Computools’ inside practice is expertise-sharing sessions organized between Team Leads, Managers, and their teams. The purpose of these sessions is to let employees strengthen their skills and adopt expertise from experts who know all the ins and outs of their work. With such weekly sessions, Computools can guarantee the robust growth and development of junior-level team members into middle and senior-level professionals.
The whole expertise collected throughout Computools’ performance is stored in the knowledge base accessible to every team member and managed by the staff development coordinator. Having the most essential and business-related knowledge in one place saves employees time and enables them to fulfill their projects in the best manner possible.
