The partnership between the academy and CODIX dates back to 2019. It was united around the idea of creating practically oriented programming courses that include more than one technology. Why is this necessary? To adequately meet the needs of the business. As a result of a series of discussions between representatives of the two companies, the curricula for the first two courses at Code Academy for the profession of Junior Back-end Developer were created – Junior Back-end Developer with profiles in SQL, PL/SQL, Pro*C, and C, and Junior Back-end Developer with profiles in SQL, PL/SQL, and Java. We were pioneers, and we are extremely pleased with the results achieved. After completing the two 6-month courses, more than 85% of the successful graduates started their careers as juniors at CODIX.
Who is CODIX?
CODIX is an international software company specializing in the development and maintenance of financial software. Their product, iMX, is a comprehensive software allowing centralized management of all activities and business processes. Their clients are large international financial institutions, leasing companies, and banks. CODIX is headquartered in France, but has offices in numerous other countries worldwide. Their largest operational office is located in Business Park Sofia. It currently employs more than 500 people, but the teams are constantly growing and expanding. They support and develop CODIX’s unique product using technologies such as Java, C, SQL, PHP, JavaScript, and many others. Of course, the company also employs personnel with non-engineering backgrounds and technical orientations, such as Business Analysts and experts, who are also an important part of the successful project implementation.
Let us tell you a little more about what it’s like for a junior to work at CODIX.
Our former students have told us that right from the start, they are actively involved in the work process, perform tasks, and continue to learn new things. The course has given them a very good foundation, and with real work, they continue to build and accumulate new skills to be increasingly successful. CODIX is an excellent choice for an IT employer; new colleagues receive clearly defined tasks and can rely on support from a well-established structure of mentors and team leaders. This helps them advance in their careers with each subsequent task. We also learned that the teams are cohesive and the atmosphere is calm. We are happy to hear that. We are proud to be part of it.
It is no secret that the IT industry can boast some of the best conditions. CODIX is no exception. The company takes care of its employees and provides them with various benefits such as multi-sport cards, public transport cards, the opportunity for additional health insurance, additional paid annual leave, and many others.
What new joint initiatives are we planning?
Here’s the good news. For the current year 2021, Code Academy and CODIX will jointly organize and conduct 2 more specialized courses, which will be free for the students, and upon successful completion, they will have the chance to start their careers as programmers at the company. One course will focus on WEB Back-end with a Java profile, and the other is entirely new, for the currently relevant position of QA Specialist. We will announce the start dates very soon!
