Our graduates about us
“Don't hesitate to seek help or feedback from mentors or peers, as collaboration is a strength.”
I joined EPAM when I was a university student studying economics and management without a diploma in the IT field. At first, I planned to become a front-end engineer, but then I discovered QA opportunities and changed my mind, especially after talking with my first mentor at EPAM. I gained valuable knowledge and hands-on experience, especially in the EPAM Laboratory, as the lessons were about actual working processes. The supportive mentors were always willing to help us.

“I decided to leave a stable job for a shot at an IT career because I saw the exciting opportunities”
EPAM Insider 2022 was the turning point for me. I initially wanted to pursue front-end development, but during the event, I discovered quality assurance. The program was challenging at times, especially without tools like ChatGPT back in 2022, but I relied on forums and my mentor's advice to navigate difficulties. Mentors were always supportive and provided helpful insights, which made a big difference in my learning process.

“The way the learning process was designed helped me absorb the material more quickly.”
At first, I was inspired by one of my acquaintances who went through the program. Then, I was completely drawn in by its detailed structure. The way the learning process was designed helped me absorb the material more quickly and dive deeper into specific areas that appealed to me, whether it was mobile testing or accessibility (A11Y). I won’t deny that exploring an entirely new field was challenging. Still, the method of delivering information and the constant feedback from mentors were the most crucial factors in my success.

“My key to success was enjoying the process and focusing on each step.”
My journey at EPAM Campus was challenging and full of growth. I started by learning the theory of software functional testing prepared by professionals and practicing hands-on tasks to apply my knowledge. Later I joined EPAM Laboratory, where we worked on training projects, managed significant materials with tight deadlines and learned teamwork. My key to success was enjoying the process and focusing on each step instead of worrying about the finish line.

Practice and teamwork were the highlights. We applied theoretical knowledge in a collaborative environment. This not only made the process more engaging but also ensured that I was well-prepared for the challenges in my future role. The program equipped me with various technical skills, but what truly set it apart was the emphasis on soft skills like problem-solving, teamwork and effective communication. Our trainers provided guidance not only on the technical aspects but also on navigating the industry. The mentorship was personalized, and I always felt comfortable seeking help.
