Partnerships with universities and IT schools
For universities, colleges and IT schools in Ukraine: student practice, internships, guest lectures and real projects for coursework, arranged with each institution in the form that suits its programme.
How it works
Tell us about your programme
The specialities, the year of study and what your students need: practice, a project or contact with working engineers.
Agree the format
An agreement on student practice, a set of guest lectures or a project brief, written down with the dates and the people involved.
Students work with our engineers
Each student or team has a mentor from our engineers and works with the tools and the review process we use on client work.
Feedback for both sides
A written review for each student and an honest note to the institution on what the programme could teach differently.
What we can offer
Student practice
Practice placements for students of software engineering, computer science and related specialities, under an agreement with the institution.
Guest lectures and reviews
Engineers who talk about the work they do, and who review student projects the way they review code at work.
Projects for coursework
Realistic project briefs for course and diploma work, based on the kinds of systems our clients need.
What it costs
Nothing for the institution or the students. Each arrangement is written down with the institution before it starts, so everyone knows who does what.
Students who do well are welcome to apply to our open roles, like anyone else.
Other ways to partner with us
White-label development
We build, test and support software under your brand while you keep the client relationship. Your repositories, your tooling, your release notes, our engineers. One contract with a registered Ukrainian company and the intellectual property assigned onward to you.
Nearshore delivery pod
A named pod of engineers, QA and delivery people that flexes up and down with your demand, works inside your processes and tooling, and has a technical lead on our side who owns continuity, quality and escalation.
Managed application support
Second and third line support of live systems inside your SLA and your ticket queue: triage, fixes, releases, patching and on-call cover, by engineers who also build, on European or North American hours.
Build-Operate-Transfer
We recruit, contract, pay and run a Ukrainian engineering team under our companies, then transfer the people or the entity to you at an agreed point. Hiring pipeline, payroll, Diia City residency and the management platform are already in place.
Referral partners
For consultants, agencies and individuals who meet work they cannot take. Introduce the client, we scope and deliver it, and the commercial arrangement is agreed per introduction before anyone is introduced.
Technology partners
For software vendors and product companies that need an engineering team beside their own for years rather than a sprint: a module we own end to end, a platform we help operate, or a second team that carries the roadmap you cannot staff.
Recruitment agencies
For recruitment and staffing agencies whose clients ask for engineers from Ukraine: vetted specialists proposed under your brand, with their Ukrainian contracts and payroll carried by us.
IT companies
For software companies in Ukraine and abroad: subcontracting in both directions, engineers between projects joining the other side, and joint proposals, under one framework agreement.
Startup studios and investors
For studios, accelerators and investors: MVP builds for portfolio companies, technical due diligence before an investment and a fractional engineering team, on terms agreed once.
Joint bids and tenders
For companies preparing a tender on Prozorro, a grant-funded project or a large request for proposal: we join as a subcontractor or consortium member with the people and documents the bid needs.
Resellers and sales representatives
For companies and people who sell our services on a continuing basis in their own market: a share of what your clients pay, our people on your calls and the proposals written for you.
Questions institutions ask
Is the practice remote?
Our team works remotely across Ukraine, so practice is remote by default, with the same tools and meetings the team uses.
Do you work with IT schools as well as universities?
Yes. The format is agreed with each school, from a single guest lecture to a project for a whole group.
