Information Technology Summer Program

In our program, you will discover the newest approaches in development, current trends, and frameworks, but also practical tips on your project when it comes to the use of APIs, machine learning, usage of voice, and many more. You will also get practical examples of modern methods of project and product management, learn how to do great open source projects, or how to avoid any legal problems when it comes to copyrights and code-stealing. Part of the course will be also dedicated to your career growth. We will help you to get the right inspiration to become a great engineering leader and give you our tips on how to be more visible within the IT community.

Additionally, internships offer the experience needed to lift you to new heights and bring you closer to your goals.

Free time

Traditionally, our Global Career Summer Programs open with aWelcome Gala evening for ECCEDU students, which provides the opportunity to meet inspiring professionals who contribute to the ECCEDU community, as well as students from other fields of studies (International Business, Law and Architecture).

We offer a wide range of activities throughout the first month of the ECCEDU Summer Program, so you can look forward to several team-building events. The goal is to introduce you to European culture in an entertaining and intelligible way. Based on your interests, you can enjoy for example escape games, karaoke sessions, laser games, barbecues, or simply sightseeing in Prague and discovering traditional products and shop for souvenirs. Trips around the Czech Republic and abroad are also organized; in the past, our students have gone for example to Český Krumlov, Kutná Hora, Brno, Vienna, or Berlin.

In general, we would like you to leave our course not just as a developer, but as a full-stack engineer. Someone who will have his opportunities wide open, because you will have a perfect understanding of all angles of this world not from teachers without practical experience, but directly from industry leaders having a finger on the pulse of the IT industry.

You will interact and learn from people facing these issues daily and have direct and practical insights you cannot get anywhere else! Plus remember, you will not only hear about it during our 3 weeks of workshops but more importantly see it yourself during our one-month guaranteed internship at one of our partner companies.
