2023: Announcement of a prototype service for vocational guidance for schoolchildren in IT

On July 10, 2023, SKB Kontur presented a prototype service for career guidance for schoolchildren "IT Guide." The service allows you to playfully determine the strengths of a teenager and choose a suitable development track in order to get a demanded profession. The guide unites specialties not only in the field of software development, but also in other areas: marketing, HR, sales and communications.

In this service, we strive to show the IT world in a broad sense - it has a place not only for lovers of writing code, but also for those who choose to draw, write texts, create creatives, communicate with people and establish connections, study documents, plan large projects.

The service was developed by a team of Contour experts with the involvement of specialists in children's career guidance with the support of the Charitable Foundation. In the process of work, they identified the main areas of activity in IT companies and described key competencies for them. Then they formed four portraits of skills - each unites professions that are relevant to the labor market and common in the IT industry. Portraits of skills in the "IT Guide" have become game characters who can choose an interesting location from the list of professions.

The system takes into account dozens of real positions. For example, if a teenager loves puzzles, "IT Guide" will offer a development track in programming, analytics or technical support. The system will give creative schoolchildren development vectors in design, PR and communications.

For July 2023, the "IT Guide" works in test mode, the release of the full version of the service will be held in September 2023 - descriptions of individual professions and other useful tools will appear in it.
