/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Only 25 per cent of graduates in Armenia’s
IT sphere work in their field, participants of the forum of IT
enterprises managers, held at the weekend in the Armenian resort
town Aghveran. According to the director of the Enterprise Incubator
Foundation Bagrat Engibaryan , about 50 per cent of graduates of
technical faculties in Armenia are not interested in working in
information technology sphere, and the other half cannot get work
due to lack of proper knowledge.

In this regard, leaders of IT enterprises mentioned that the problem
is rooted in absence of cooperation between business environment and
educational system of the country. According Bagrat Engibaryan, this
problem should be solved by cooperation between these institutions,
which will also focus on enhancing professional development of
IT sphere.
