Open Doors ASSIST 2021: thousands of views on Facebook and YouTube
The Open Doors ASSIST 2021 event that was held online on the 25th and 26th of November racked up hundreds of views during the livestream and the numbers continue to increase even after the end of the event.
An event made for students
Students were able to watch thought-inducing panels on the official ASSIST Software Facebook and YouTube pages. The topics discussed varied from the ASSIST company culture to the benefits of an on-site internship for the start of a career.
ASSIST Software employees appeared on camera to share their knowledge and various tips on becoming a specialist in the IT industry while developing harmoniously on both a personal and a professional level. Former ASSIST Software interns were also there to give their opinions on the recruitment process, thus confirming that students with diverse backgrounds and perspectives can find their place within the company.
Our special guests
Many thanks go out to our special guests and notably to two university professors who accepted our invitations and joined us in the studio. Professor Doru Eugen Tiliute, Ph.D. and Reader Schipor Ovidiu, EngD talked about the challenges that students face when implementing what they learned at university in their newfound jobs.
It was important for us to discuss the ways in which students could kickstart their careers successfully. Our HR specialists provided much-needed information and guidance regarding job and internship application processes, but the highlight of the panel was the official launch of a new ASSIST Software educational program: ASSIST Academy.
ASSIST Academy is the best way of learning
The umbrella term - ASSIST Academy - encompasses all the learning and training activities that the company constantly undertakes as a means of discovering new talent, developing others, and growing steadily as a team. Learning, workshops, and courses are essential to us, and we want to show others the benefits of studying. We chose to celebrate the launch of ASSIST Academy by offering 10 paid internships to students who applied on the special Open Doors ASSIST landing page. Dozens of CVs and portfolios are now with our HR department, and the best of the best will be selected to participate in the program.
To show our support and excitement, we made it so that whoever applied for a paid internship was automatically registered as a raffle participant for the Open Doors ASSIST grand prize: an XBOX Series S 512 GB. The winner was revealed at the end of the event, through a live draw, and has already claimed his prize.
We thank you for watching!
Overall, Open Doors ASSIST can now be considered the biggest online event the company has ever put together. The valuable information and the guest speakers that provided it made the event very worthwhile for its target audience, while games and contests held during the breaks rewarded those who rearranged their daily agendas to watch us and engage with our content.
