EPAM experts tailored Sadhaka for aspiring software developers who will graduate with engineering degrees in 2024. This year, on April 22, the program launched with two specializations: Java and Test Automation in Java. These courses present a comprehensive curriculum covering programming languages, software development tools and methodologies, frameworks, data structures, algorithms and more.

The Sadhaka program follows a planned structure defined across three stages.

The final stage in October, includes an EPAM assessment to evaluate the students’ newly gained skills. Students will receive their course certification based on their performances, highlighting their proficiency level.
