The close cooperation of the partners will jointly expand the opportunities for studying system programming on domestic IT products, including in the development of educational and methodological materials used for training.

Serious practical training will help students pass exams and become holders of certificates confirming their skills with the domestic stack. They will learn to solve problems of various complexity, will be able to undergo practice and participate in the Astra Career and Astra Scholarship projects.

Cooperation with MITU-MASI will allow us to jointly strengthen the direction of training IT personnel to ensure high-quality import substitution in the country. For us, this is another important step towards compensating for the lack of technical specialists capable of working on domestic solutions. As of February 2024, university students are already actively participating in Astra Group projects, helping to develop Russian software products, - said Roman Borisov, deputy commercial director for the work of the Astra Group educational sector.

Our partnership with Astra Group allows the university to train in-demand specialists and opens up the opportunity for students to build an up-to-date career path in the context of import substitution. Since MITU-MASI University is multidisciplinary, including architectural and construction, we are particularly interested in the Ready for Astra technological partnership program, especially in the field of testing domestic construction and architectural software, "said Svetlana Zabelina, rector of MITU-MASI.
