Presentation of one BG project partner
We present to you the Technological School of Electronic Systems at the Technical University - Sofia (TUES). TUES is a partner of the Cluster Sofia Knowledge City in the InvesTech project.
This reputable secondary school is integrated into the Technical University - Sofia and about 40% of its teaching staff are highly qualified university teachers. It is a specialized technological school of national importance, which creates future leaders in the field of information technologies not only for Bulgaria, but also for the global IT sector and prepares its students to adapt quickly and successfully to technological challenges.
This year (2024) the school celebrates its 35th anniversary.
During this period, about 3,000 students passed through it, with a number of them becoming leaders in the IT sector, founding and managing some of the most successful Bulgarian companies.
TUES implements a specialized curriculum - in-depth training is provided not only in the field of software development, but also in mathematics and physics, digital and analog circuit engineering, computer network architecture. Studying many special subjects in itself gives a deep knowledge of the field, but what has made the school so successful over the years is the close connection with real business. Most of the specialized classes are taught by industry experts or graduates who want to give back to the school that created them by passing on their knowledge and experience to the younger ones. 20% of the current faculty teachers are graduate students.
Connections with real business is one of the greatest strengths of the TUES curriculum. They are also formed during the two-week summer internship after the 11th grade in a number of leading companies from the IT sector. In this internship, every student has the opportunity to be part of a real work environment, learn new and improve existing skills, as well as get valuable practical knowledge and a chance for a good start in their future work.
The TUES team will be relied upon to create one of the five Centres of Vocational Excellence within the InvesTech project.
