The modern age has placed a serious challenge before education – to prepare young people for what awaits them in a world of continuous change and progress. The IT industry is developing rapidly and is becoming integrated into all aspects of business, regardless of the industry in question. This is why the Information Technology School – ITS, keeping up with the latest trends, enriches its curriculum with new courses every year so as to provide students with useful knowledge applicable in real business challenges.

The International School, LINKgroup’s international Cambridge secondary school, has received new recognition for their approach to teaching and work with students. Thanks to its cutting-edge educational resources and technology, and highly competent teaching staff, the school has expanded its educational activities to the youngest students, thus becoming a Cambridge Primary International School.

LINK group and BusinessAcademy partnered with this year’s international #PRilika 2018 conference, establishing long-term cooperation. This year, BusinessAcademy partnered with the Case Study student competition taking place as part of the conference, providing valuable prizes for the winners.

On Friday, November 9, the largest employment fair, LINK2job, organized by LINK group’s Center for Career Development (CCD) and supported by the City of Belgrade and the National Employment Service (NES), took place at the Metropol Palace.

For almost ten consecutive years, through the LINK LEARNING FOUNDATION program, and in cooperation with the City of Belgrade, 20 persons with disabilities receive free training programs at our educational institutions – ITAcademy (LINK Academy in Romania), BusinessAcademy and InternetAcademy.

LINK group has formed yet another important partnership designed to provide students of ITAcademy and InternetAcademy with even better conditions for professional development. Owing to the partnership with Link-Assistant, a company developing tools for the Search Engine Optimization industry, students of the aforementioned schools will from now on be able to include the licensed SEO PowerSuite program into their training.
