Roman Karpyuk, CSOC Specialist at SoftServe, shared expert tips for students on how to get the most of their training:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Keep on studying. Get the most out of your college years.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Get certified. The verification of the education process is an important part of a pre-employment background check procedure, and it allows you to apply a theory to better address challenges in cybersecurity, for example.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Don\u2019t ignore courses. They improve the quality of knowledge and help to find a mentor or like-minded community.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Before you commit to enrolling in a program, it can be helpful to get a better grasp on what you can expect as a student. Learn more about the faculty, learning models, the disciplines which companies and organisations the school cooperates with.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Were delighted to have the support of Vector, Channel 24 and SPEKA.media as the media partners of the event.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">In case you missed the live stream, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UCjONhFl10EssBhdWjtMczSg\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">here\u2019s the link<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> to the recorded IT Future Conf.
