Only 25 per cent of graduates in Armenia's IT sphere work in their specialty
Only 25 per cent of graduates in Armenia's IT sphere work in their field, participants of the forum of IT enterprises managers, held at the weekend in the Armenian resort town Aghveran.  According to the director of the Enterprise Incubator Foundation Bagrat Engibaryan , about 50 per cent of graduates of technical faculties in Armenia are not interested in working in information technology sphere, and the other half cannot get work due to lack of proper knowledge. 

In this regard, leaders of IT enterprises mentioned that the problem is rooted in absence of cooperation between business environment and educational system of the country. According Bagrat Engibaryan, this problem should be solved by cooperation between these institutions, which will also focus on enhancing professional development of IT sphere.
