Java JUMP – jump into your place in IT. Your chance for a career in technology!
Learn Java – one of the most popular programming languages that opens doors to many developer positions. Java JUMP is a free but intensive online educational program designed to help you build a strong foundation in Java programming. With 80 hours of online workshops led by an experienced instructor, this program is your ticket to a career in programming. Due to the comprehensive nature of the project, we are also allocating an additional 10 hours of workshops for learning another language, such as Python or SQL.
See the participants’ success stories!
Why should you apply to Java JUMP?
- Learning from scratch – the course will guide you step by step into the world of Java.
- Tailored curriculum – with 80 hours of intensive Java learning (+ 10 additional hours in another language).
- Career opportunity – build your skills portfolio and prepare for tech industry challenges.
- Immersion in IT – two months of intensive learning will equip you with concrete skills to strengthen your position in the job market.
- Real-time learning – join live online sessions with an instructor and collaborate with other participants (your presence and engagement are key!).
- A structured learning journey – dedicate your time to a valuable experience, following a well-planned workshop path.
- Completely FREE – do we even need to mention the market price for 90 hours of learning? ?
- Bonus! You can apply for a 2-year development program at HSBC (employment contract), where Java is one of the required skills. Graduates of Java JUMP will receive an exclusive registration slot for HSBC’s program upon completing the course (if they are interested in applying). Participation in Java JUMP does not guarantee employment at HSBC, but it definitely brings you closer to this goal.
