University and Industry Partnerships:

Our first incubator onboarding-summer school launch was a great success

But, don't take our word for it. Here are our first testimonials from our students

The theoretical part was filled with a wealth of useful information, specifically on how to correctly create software products, the stages of development, and team collaboration—from discussions with clients to the final stages of the project...

 

The practical part tested our skills… This was an experience that is not easily found, and especially not for free. I can and want to recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn not only theory but also gain experience in real software development.

 

You will be taught by specialists recognized in America—experts in their fields.

Everything was well-organized, and the information provided was both interesting and useful.

 

We worked productively in teams, which enhanced our understanding of the mechanisms behind creating an IT product.

 

The combination of theoretical and practical components was especially beneficial, allowing us to apply what we learned in real-time.

 

Overall, it was a rewarding experience that deepened my knowledge and skills in the field.

Our Founder

TechHope Transitions Inc. was founded by PhD Ganna Makarkina in 2023. She has an extensive knowledge of the Ukrainian IT market working as a software developer at the beginning of her career, and later as a chair of the Department of Intellectual Decision-Making Systems which trained specialists in Computer Sciences at the Donbass State Engineering Academy (Kramatorsk, Ukraine).

 

To support her family Ganna moved to the US, continuing her career in IT. She deeply understands challenges that people take to adjust to a new reality: language barrier, cultural differences, job search. She undertook different professional and language training to learn more about the US job market and become a valued asset to employers.

 

Ganna and her TechHope Transition team are proud to support Ukrainian IT-professionals with effective job searching services and adapt to the United States and its culture.
