On 27 January, we are launching the Business Development School in FinTech — a completely free online course combined with an internship at our IT company.

Why Business Development?

A business developer in an IT company is a key figure. The success of any company directly depends on how effectively they represent and sell products in the market. It is the business developer who secures profitable partnerships and drives business growth.

The job requires significant effort but delivers good profits. In addition to the fixed salary outlined in the offer, business developers earn commissions from each deal, attend forums, and participate in conferences worldwide.

Moreover, this multifaceted work with people fosters rapid development of soft skills and builds valuable connections with industry leaders. As a result, business developers are highly valued in the job market and quickly find opportunities.

What is Business Development School?

Business Development School is an internship in English at the IT company Evercode Lab, combined with free course from our company’s experts and invited guests.

The Business Development School will be held in a hybrid format and will last 8 weeks.

Each week will consist of one training module and include video lectures, one main assignment, a Q&A session to discuss questions and examples, as well as an one face-to-face meeting at the Evercode Lab office.

Materials will be provided gradually: every new day brings new materials. The Business Development School in the field of Fintech offers comprehensive training, in addition to video lectures, including text lectures and short self-test tests.

At the end of the program, there will be a project defense as an exam, where you will talk about your target clients and share your results.
