Ukrainian technology company BlueBird Tech expands its educational track and announces a strategic partnership with the Kyiv School of Economics (KSE). Company representatives gave an introductory lecture and outlined the direction of future collaboration.
The first meeting brought together students enrolled in the KSE’s “Unmanned Aerial Vehicles” program. BlueBird Tech Chief Operating Officer Yurii Faraponov presented the company’s areas of activity and employment opportunities. In addition, KSE students were introduced to BlueBird Tech’s flagship product — the “Chuyka 3.0” drone detector.
“Cooperation with the Kyiv School of Economics is particularly valuable to us, as the students here already have a clear understanding of what they want to achieve in their careers. They possess practical work experience, have their own vision for technological development, and are full of ambitious ideas. For the defense tech industry, it is extremely important to attract not only strong engineers but also future managers, entrepreneurs, analysts, and specialists who are capable of transforming innovations into real products and large-scale projects,” says Yurii Faraponov, Chief Operating Officer at BlueBird Tech.
KSE emphasizes that the defense tech program is very popular among students. They are keen to be involved in developing solutions that strengthen the country’s defense capabilities.
“It is important for the university to establish effective links between students and potential employers. We aim to familiarize learners with career opportunities, current employer requirements, and growth prospects within the industry. Such meetings help students develop a clear understanding of their future profession, motivate them to study, and open up new opportunities for internships, practical training, and future employment,” emphasizes Ivan Ostroumov, Head of the UAV Program at the Kyiv School of Economics.
BlueBird Tech will continue its cooperation with the Kyiv School of Economics, particularly through joint practical sessions and lectures.
