German classes, AI, mentorship: How ASSIST Software builds a learning culture
We are always happy to share our secrets to great business partnerships. To build robust code, you need to develop your team's confidence. At ASSIST Software, communication, context, and constant learning lead to an ever-evolving learning culture shaped by ASSIST Academy, our internal hub for continuous education, mentorship, and professional development.
We're empowering our teams to code smarter, communicate better, learn faster, and mentor deeper.
Let's take a closer look at the incredible things ASSIST Academy has been doing lately and how it's reshaping the way we grow talent in the tech world.
1. German and English language courses that inspire a business approach
At ASSIST Software, speaking German fluently creates a stronger bridge between our teams and our international clients, especially those in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. To support this, we’ve built a structured learning program led by two dedicated German teachers who hold group sessions. Furthermore, each group is carefully sized to encourage collaboration and maximize retention. The focus stays on real-world communication: business terms, tech vocabulary, and practical dialogue scenarios. From client meetings to technical discussions, our colleagues gain the tools to express themselves clearly and professionally in German. This is about giving our team the confidence to lead conversations in one of Europe’s most important business languages.
Our English courses follow the same approach: real use cases, real improvement. The program targets essential skills for tech professionals. Team members across departments join these sessions to refine their communication and expand their fluency. With consistent practice and a business-focused curriculum, the English program supports our global collaboration goals. Together, these language courses play a key role in how ASSIST Software grows international partnerships and builds trust across borders.
We're teaching people how to pitch features in client calls, write clear technical documentation, and navigate business negotiations, all in a second language.
The result? More fluid communication, faster decision-making, and stronger relationships with clients worldwide. No matter their starting level, dozens of our colleagues acquire language skills that directly improve project outcomes.
“We’re all about flexibility from our partnership model, coding tools to our communication. We want to be the company that has the ability to answer a large array of client needs because what fuels us is a true passion for innovation. We’re not going to let something as minor as a language barrier keep us from working on the most exciting international projects.” Marian Pinzariu, VP of Education
We've seen quieter developers step up to lead calls, junior staff speak confidently in global meetings, and even those with solid language foundations learn how to talk tech in a way that resonates with business stakeholders. It's a quiet revolution in how we communicate, and it's only gaining momentum as we slowly progress to the next step of our language journey.
2. AI certifications that drive real innovation
While building up soft skills, we're not taking our foot off the pedal when it comes to hard skills, either.
ASSIST Academy is helping our team stay on the cutting edge of AI by supporting continuous certification in high-impact technologies. From Google's TensorFlow to Microsoft's Azure AI, our developers are diving into machine learning, NLP, computer vision, and large language models. These technologies are defining the next generation of digital products.
Being on top means continuously learning to deliver smarter, faster, more innovative software to clients who demand future-ready solutions.
Look at our certification roster and see the breadth of expertise now embedded in our team. Our team uses these tools daily to build intelligent assistants, integrate AI into mobile apps, or optimize backend performance with ML models for large enterprises.
ASSIST Software has always focused on AI, and our AI Center allowed us to put together a fantastic team of tech experts.
3. Mentorship that multiplies knowledge
However, knowledge doesn't mean much if you don't pass it on.
That's why another standout success of ASSIST Academy has been the rise of mentorship as a cultural norm. More and more, our senior developers, tech leads, and engineers are stepping into the role of educators and using whatever time they have to share their insights with students, interns, and career switchers throughout the region.
Through structured mentoring programs, open workshops, and school partnerships, ASSIST mentors are shaping the next generation of tech talent. And they're doing it in a way that's accessible, encouraging, and deeply impactful.
As highlighted in this feature, our experts combine top-tier technical skills with strong communication and empathy, making them exceptional mentors rather than just great specialists.
Beyond the fantastically positive community impact, mentorship is also suitable for our team. When our people teach, they learn. When they mentor, they grow. And when they share knowledge, it lifts everyone up.

At ASSIST Software, we don't separate technical skills from communication skills, personal development from professional success, and software excellence from the culture that enables it.
Through ASSIST Academy, we're building a team that codes in Python, presents in German, and solves problems with skill and empathy.
And that's the kind of team that builds world-class software by building world-class people.
