IT Cluster participation in the process of building such cooperation is very important because often the community team is a platform for debate and joint decisions. One of the notable results of the cooperation between the University and the IT companies with IT Cluster\u2019s participation is new educational programs that are especially popular with applicants and later students. It is worth noting that we regularly monitor the quality of such programs, as well as the satisfaction of all stakeholders. The results of such monitoring confirm that close cooperation with a potential employer, his involvement in the educational process, undoubtedly adds advantages to the educational program,\u201d<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> tells Vitaliy Kukharsky, Vice-Rector for Scientific and Pedagogical Work and Informatization at Ivan Franko National University of Lviv.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">This year we held meetings with students of all programs in person.
