Hiring in tech is changing. Employers are increasingly looking past the diploma and focusing on what candidates can actually do, while the skills that matter keep shifting faster than any curriculum can keep up with.
So where is tech education actually heading, and what does it take, right now, to land a job in tech?
Join us for a conversation that looks at this from three different angles: what actually decides things in hiring when hundreds of CVs land on a single role, how to approach your own development when knowledge goes out of date faster than ever, and what it's really like to be the one going through that decision right now, learning in a peer-to-peer, project-based model with no lecturer at the front of the room.
18:00–18:10 — Welcome & Opening - short presentation of 42 Warsaw
18:10–18:50 —The Future of Tech Education
45 minutes on where tech education is heading, what HR teams are really looking for, and how not to get lost in a world where a diploma can't keep up with the pace of change, featuring Ewa Zmysłowska (Chief People Officer, Play), Aleksandra Czetwertyńska (Director, 42 Warsaw), and Aleksander Garbacz (42 Warsaw Alumni).
18:50–19:05 — Break + Networking
19:05–19:30 — Student Presentations: three 42 Warsaw students sharing what they learned from their first IT internships and showcase projects built during their studies
