Hello Everybody,
I'm thrilled to talk about a recent experience that paints a colorful picture of life at EPAM, a company with a deep commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives. This commitment, echoing our guiding principles, frequently takes us beyond our office walls and into the community, where our team in Spain recently shone a light on life in the IT world at the semi-private school "CDP Stanislao de Kotska” in Malaga.
My colleagues Belen(Former student of this school), Katsiaryna, Facundo, Angie, Azam, and I had the privilege of engaging with young, curious minds. We provided a comprehensive talk about the myriad of opportunities in the IT industry, key roles, essential everyday activities, and how to strike that all-important work-life balance.
Observing the eager faces of the children, their inquisitive questions, and their growing interest was an absolute delight. Seeing the shift, even if subtle, in their perceptions right in front of us was incredible. What was particularly heartening was seeing students who had previously not considered the IT path see it now as a viable and appealing option.
These engagements serve as a stark reminder of our collective responsibility to guide, mentor, and inspire the next generation, harnessing their natural curiosity and shaping it into passion and pursuit. As IT professionals, we are uniquely positioned to do this, and hence we should strive to do it whenever we get the chance.
Our experience at "CDP Stanislao de Kotska" certainly left an indelible imprint on us, and we hope, the students too. We encourage fellow professionals and organizations to seize such opportunities, to step out and sow the seeds of curiosity, ambition, and persistence in young minds. As we continue to strive for excellence at EPAM, we remain committed to cultivating a future generation of IT leaders.
Remember, the future lies in the hands of our youth. Here’s to nurturing their potential and empowering them to architect their dreams into reality. The IT world eagerly awaits the innovations and disruptions they will undoubtedly bring. As we put it at EPAM, "Let's keep creating the future, together". #EPAMSpain #ESG #EPAM
