Following the signing of a Memorandum of Cooperation between Igor Sikorsky KPI and Ericsson, the implementation of an international training program for developing skills in digital technologies—Ericsson Educate: 5G University—has begun.
☑️ The program includes 50 hours of in-depth training on 5G technologies and standards and is designed to complement students’ current technical training and enhance their readiness for professional work in the ICT sector.
In the first phase, nine faculty members from Kyiv Polytechnic Institute successfully completed the program and received certificates, making KPI the only university in Ukraine whose academic staff has been trained under the curriculum of one of the world’s leading companies in the 5G sector. These faculty members are already actively applying their newly acquired knowledge in the educational process.
📃 The program covered key areas of modern telecommunications:
• Mobile networks
• Radio Access Networks (RAN)
• Network core
• Cloud technologies
Over the course of 10 sessions, participants mastered the practical tools and knowledge necessary to train the next generation of 5G specialists.
📌 Certificates were awarded to:
Maria Skulish, Director of the Educational and Scientific Institute of Telecommunications Systems (ESIT)
Serhii Kravchuk, Head of the Department of Telecommunications at ESIT
Vyacheslav Noskov, Associate Professor of the Department of Information Technologies in Telecommunications, NII TS
