On November 30, kood\/J\u00f5hvi celebrated the start of its second batch with the opening of a new building in J\u00f5hvi. The event was attended by students of the school, partners, and representatives of the state and local region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

kood\/J\u00f5hvi has been up and running with students for a year<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKus viga n\u00e4ed laita, seal mine ja aita<\/a><\/strong><\/em>. kood\/J\u00f5hvi’s founders perceived a problem and took the reins into their own hands to train a new generation of IT specialists. They saw the potential of Ida-Viru County and made the most of it. Now the most modern and future-oriented community in Estonia is converging in J\u00f5hvi,” said the Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia, Kaja Kallas<\/strong>, in her speech at the opening ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt’s the journey, not the destination, they say. Being a student of the first batch, I cannot express enough how eagerly we waited for the new school building to be completed,\u201d said Jarmo Seljamaa<\/a><\/strong> from the 1st batch in his opening party speech. The new building in J\u00f5hvi marks the start of a new era in kood\/J\u00f5hvi. Currently, kood\/J\u00f5hvi has 500 students whose backgrounds vary from bakers to managers. The average age of a student is 27, and the oldest student is 64. kood\/J\u00f5hvi is made special by bringing unique people together. Altogether kood\/J\u00f5hvi has people from 24 different nationalities, 30% of them are women and 70% are men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lot has happened during the year and the plan is to constantly evolve<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

“The first year of the school has shown that there is a lot of interest from both students and future employers, which is why we decided to accept 300 new students this year,” said Taavet Hinrikus<\/strong>, chairman of the kood\/J\u00f5hvi council. “During the first year, both the curriculum and the school have developed a lot, starting with the development of the study program and ending with the completion of a five-story school building in J\u00f5hvi.” <\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Hinrikus, the goal of the school is to reduce the shortage of IT talents and promote the technological skills of Estonian people. “We think that kood\/J\u00f5hvi is the best way to make IT education available to everyone. To this end, the school also co-operates with other similar programs and specialists in the field and increases the number of students every year,” added Hinrikus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
