HERMES SoftLab, member of the COmTrade Group has organized the 13th summer school called EdIT (Education for Innovative Thinkers), the company’s international education program intended for students. This year 90 participants enhanced their knowledge in the area of information technology and successfully tested it on real-life projects. EdIT was held in three countries (Slovenia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina) in six different locations simultaneously. Like in the previous years the attendance was free of charge for all the participants, with all costs covered by HERMES SoftLab.

Today’s diploma award ceremony was the official conclusion of the EdIT summer school, which took place July 6-17. In the last two weeks students tested their knowledge in the areas of business analytics, support for purchasing business processes and development of quiz applications, using a series of new technologies, such as ORM and Java, under the watchful eye of mentors from HERMES SoftLab.

»The EdIT summer school has reached its purpose again – the large number of applicants attests to the fact that EdIT is becoming a distinctive trademark in the field of education. I believe the response is growing every year primarily because EdIT offers education combined with real-life practice that enables individuals to develop numerous skills. At university level the practical aspect of work is often not sufficiently emphasized. HERMES SoftLab has the resources to share its knowledge with prospective future employees, which is the key to a successful future of every company,« said Gregor Smrekar, CEO of HERMES SoftLab.
