Turing College Joins Forces with Telia: Elevating Career Opportunities in Lithuania's Telecommunications and ICT Landscape

We've been collaborating with Telia for a while now, and we know they’re a reliable, innovative and experienced partner. Telia sponsored the second edition of Tech Trek in January, where industry professionals Indrė, Justina, Gražvydas and Matt shared their know-how in tech, data and customer engagement, which led to our learners and hiring partners immersing themselves in exciting discussions about the latest trends and impacts in the tech sphere. You can view the full presentation here.

'The collaboration for Tech Trek allows Telia to engage with emerging data professionals and contribute to their education and development. The partnership with Turing College aligns with Telia's vision of supporting education in technology-related fields, particularly in data science, analytics and digital,’ says Ineta Lapuchinaitė, Employer Branding Marketing Manager at Telia.

Having Telia as our Hiring partner means they have priority access to our top-notch talent, provide recommendations for our learners and try to find the best match for their positions. We will also host a number of exclusive events where Telia will have an opportunity to attract fresh talent and their knowledge (Tech Trek is a good example), and our community (both learners and alumni) can participate to gain knowledge, and meet new passionate data people. Also, from now on Telia's senior professionals can enrol in our programs to become Senior Team Leads or even mentors to our learners. 

'Telia was recognized in Lithuania as "Workplace of the Year", "The Most Family-Friendly Workplace", "Most Wanted Employer", and recently a leading employer in the “IT & Telecommunications” field.  With this in mind, we aim to provide our community with the opportunity to learn more about a company like Telia through exclusive events and collaborations. We are pleased that Telia is eager to collaborate with us, and the number of learners hired by Telia is growing each year', says Turing College co-founder Benas Šidlauskas.

As a company at the forefront of telecommunications & ICT, Telia values education as a cornerstone in the ever-evolving tech market. ‘It has a significant role in shaping the tech market by preparing individuals with the right skills, fostering innovation, and ensuring adaptability in a fast-changing technological landscape. In the future, we will only do more of that,’ adds Ineta.

It is precisely this reason that we recommend all our learners consider a career at Telia. In addition to core services (mobile, fixed-line telecommunications, broadband and Telia Play), the company also uses data analytics to enhance customer experiences and deliver innovative solutions.

‘For candidates interested in data analytics, Telia offers opportunities to work with vast datasets and cutting-edge tools, contributing to the company's growth in this crucial field,’ says Ineta.
