Smartup Academy: a social project for the development of the digital future of Uzbekistan

In the rapidly developing world of information technology, youth is the main criterion for confidently building the future. Education is the main requirement that will help any country become a strong competitor on the world stage. And training centers, programming schools and universities play a key role in the education and training of future professionals.

Today we want to tell you about Smartup Academy, which acts as a beacon for the gifted youth of Uzbekistan, providing them with a unique opportunity to step into the world of IT, master in-demand skills and build a successful career. The project has a social status, so training is provided free of charge and is covered by Green White Solutions.

This Green White Solutions project began with a simple idea - to create an educational platform for young people who are interested in high technology and dream of connecting their future with it. In 2022, the dream turned into a full-fledged Academy, which was given the name of the company's main development - Smartup!
“Already in August 2022, the active recruitment of students in grades 9-11, who could attend the Academy classes, combining them with school, began. The project was carried out in partnership with the khokimiyat of the Shaykhontohur district of the capital - as a result, more than 700 people applied. After passing the tests, 54 students were enrolled in the 1st recruitment of the Academy.

Nilufar Jumayeva, head of the Smartup Academy project:

"Over the course of a year, program participants immerse themselves in the world of IT, studying the basics of programming, mobile application development, Backend development in JAVA and other relevant topics. The training program has been carefully developed by experienced teachers and specialists to provide students with the most useful knowledge and practical skills necessary for successful employment. Training at Smartup Academy is free and available to young people from all regions of Uzbekistan when studying offline."

In addition to theoretical classes, students take part in master classes and trainings, where they can apply their knowledge in practice and gain valuable experience.

The training process consists of 3 stages:
  • Stage 1 – 3 months: programming basics and algorithms
  • Stage 2 – 6 months: training in the chosen direction (for example, backend development in JAVA)
  • Stage 3 – 3 months: practical part, where participants, working in a group, create their own project

The first year of study proved that the Academy needed to be expanded – after all, many young people from different parts of the country expressed a desire to study at Smartup Academy.

Despite the requirement to be present in person at classes, there were many people from different parts of Uzbekistan who wanted to. The Academy expanded and became popular among young people.
Khojiakbar Saidrasulov came to study in 2023 from the Jizzakh region. For him, this is an opportunity to gain deep knowledge from the country's leading specialists and, moreover, for free.

"The lessons are very interesting and informative. The teachers share their valuable experience and knowledge. In each lesson, I learn something new and develop practical skills. In the future, I plan to become a successful programmer or IT specialist.
If I receive an offer from Green White Solutions, I will accept it and stay here to work. Because the company has a wide range of opportunities for gaining knowledge and experience, and working here, I will have the opportunity to enrich my knowledge and maybe even teach at the Academy. I like the Smartup Academy!!!"

The first stream of graduates proved that such social projects are very necessary and important for our country. It is gratifying that 3 of the graduates of this stream have become employees of Green White Solutions today and are working on the company's developments. After successfully completing his studies at the Academy, Asadbek
Akmalov was offered a job at Green White Solutions, and he accepted it.

"After graduating from high school in 2022, I started looking for IT training courses. A friend recommended Smartup Academy to me, and less than a month later I became a student. Having successfully completed my studies, I received an unexpected offer from the management - to stay here and become part of the Green White Solutions team. I accepted the offer with pleasure! I like the friendly atmosphere that reigns in the company, the opportunity to grow and develop, and of course, continue to study the field in practice. Thank you Smartup Academy! I have found my calling, I am doing what I love and in a circle of like-minded people, I am useful to people and the country! I love my job!"
For Ulugbek Jumayev, Smartup Academy was a real find:

"For over a year, I was looking for IT courses where I could get the knowledge and skills I really needed. I found out about the Academy by chance, from a person who sold me his laptop. He said that I would find what I was looking for here. And I am very grateful to him for this advice! The very next day, I was at the Green White Solutions office, later I successfully passed all the exams and today I am a student of the Academy. It is a great success that there is such an Academy where young people receive high-quality knowledge, while not being a burden to their parents and not paying for their studies! Thanks to the organizers of the Academy for such an opportunity!"

Smartup Academy not only teaches, but also socializes its students. Creating a friendly atmosphere and the support of mentors help young people adapt to new conditions, find like-minded people and build strong connections in the IT community. Successful completion of training at the Academy opens up wide opportunities for graduates. They can find well-paid jobs in IT companies, become freelancers or continue their education at prestigious universities.

Smartup Academy is more than just an educational institution. It is a social project that changes the lives of young people, gives them a chance to realize their potential and become part of the dynamically developing IT sphere.
