Some 1,076 people also took part in programming training based on that course, Secretary of State György László of the Ministry for Innovation and Technology said at a press conference in Budapest, according to profitline.hu. More than 1,000 people have thus retrained as programmers.
László added that 97% of the students who studied programming passed the exam, and three-quarters of them were already in the labor market. Among those retraining were shop assistants, lawyers, interpreters, couriers, and teachers.
The average age of the students was 39 years old, which, according to László, means that it is never too late to learn a new profession.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
