YEREVAN. - D-Link wants to launch low-level programming courses  in Armenian schools.

Director of the company’s Representative Office in Armenia, Armen Shahnazaryan, said the aforementioned to Armenian News – NEWS.am.

Low-level programmers are valued and well-paid abroad. They write programs for processors and external devices. But the labor market for this profession is rather limited in Armenia. Thus, engineering students prefer learning ordinary programming. “Hence our issues with skilled workers,” Shahnazaryan said. 

In 2017, D-Link wants to begin teaching basics of low-level programming in 15 schools of Armenia.  “We are planning beginner courses with instruction materials and training stands so that students can see the data communication they program on hardware. Frankly speaking, our generation is more familiar with iron than the previous one. They generally have an idea of what it is, but many of them have never seen it.

It is very important for a child to understand how everything actually works. That is why we want to show everything on stands. We want to buy them from the renowned Spanish Edibon company,” Shahnazaryan said.

The company is going to buy them when the IT sector slightly recovers from fluctuations. “I think we’ll do this when the hard times are behind,” he added.
