ISTANBUL (TR) - The spread of technology and digital transformation, which allows companies to improve customer experience, go to market with practical and fast steps, and make their business processes safer and more efficient, continues to expand the software development industry. According to data released by Grand View, the global software development market, which was worth 429 billion dollars in 2021, is expected to reach 479 billion dollars by 2030 with a CAGR of 11.7%. As the rising industry increases the need for software developers, the ongoing talent crisis in the business world is also seen in the software development market. BilgeAdam Academy, which has more than 100 thousand graduates in 25 years, not only helps its students find jobs, but also reduces the impact of the global problem on the local market by training competent software specialists.

“High demand creates an employment gap in software that will not close anytime soon”

BilgeAdam Academy Director Bahadır Özütam, who stated that the aim of the training programs is to close the increasing software engineer gap and to train talented people in this field and place them in suitable positions, commented: “The rapid spread of digitalization boosts the need to software developers for strengthening technological infrastructures. This increase in demand creates an employment gap in the global software industry. With BilgeAdam Boost, our star software development program that we launched in 2019, we both close the employment gap in our country, and ensure that graduates who complete the training get the job they want.”

Hybrid and applied education model in software development

Bahadır Özütam stated that they have adopted a hybrid and applied education model, and said: “The training program we have prepared based on our 25 years of experience reflects our multifaceted perspective. Students first receive applied training and then put it into practice in an internship program that offers real project experience. We contribute to the development of all the muscles of our students in software by creating a whole with the support of theoretical and practical education, projects, homework, studies, exams and internships. By applying a hybrid model in education, we allow the person to participate in weekdays or weekends, depending on their preference. The process, which can be completed in 8 to 10 months, varies according to the selected days. Our expert trainers in this field, on the other hand, mentor students at every stage and help them build their careers.”

In accordance with the principle of equal opportunity in education, we do not charge our students for 1 year, we allow them to make their payments after they are employed. Our students can easily make repayments thanks to today's high software developer salaries. In addition, we guide our students who want to improve themselves in this field. Thus, it is a band-aid for the employment gap in the local market, and we enable talented people to benefit from the career opportunities in this sector.”
