YOUNG IT PROFESSIONALS (YITP)

The Network for young emerging professionals working within the IT-industry.

A NETWORK FOR YOUNG PEOPLE

This network is not only for IT professionals who are IT enthusiasts, but also for those who are not incredibly tech savvy but work with the business aspect of IT – all it requires is an affiliation to the industry, a professional affiliation. This is not a student network and we do not have an age limit, but if you work within the industry and consider yourself a young IT professional, we encourage you to sign up.

The purpose of this network is to connect IT Professionals interested in professional as well as social collaboration with peers in the industry.

Throughout the year the team behind YITP will plan and facilitate professional events where you can learn about current trends and topics as well as network and socialize.

Join the Network and the mailing list below and our Linked In page where we also inform about upcoming events.

BACKGROUND

It is no secret that the IT industry is everchanging, which requires attracting new talent. For this exact reason, a lot of IT companies today focus on attracting young talent through student positions, graduate and associate programs.

The initial entry into the industry can be exciting, but also overwhelming and at times also complicated. This was the outset of the Network today known as “Young IT Professionals”

The Network was founded by Andreas Eskelund Nielsen and Kim Bøgelund Hansen, who wanted to start a Network where the focus is on the emerging young talent in the industry.

“The point of the initiative is to create a network of young people, for the young people of the industry. A place where young IT professionals can meet up and learn about the changes in the industry, make connections and share the experience of being young within the IT industry.” Andreas says.

Being young, however, is a broad definition. What is important is a formal connection to the industry, either by working within an IT company or working in an IT role. It is not a recruitment platform nor is it a student network to gain entry into the industry.

Since its founding back in September 2020, the network has grown to more than 350 members on its LinkedIn page. The network has also entered into an official collaboration with ITB (The Danish ICT Industry Association) and arranged multiple physical as well as virtual events.

“We hope to see a support in the industry for the network. Our first event was virtual, and we received a lot of enthusiasm about the initiative among the attendees. This shows us that there is a demand for a network such as ours” says Heidi Laursen, member of the committee and co-founder.

Together with ITB (The Danish ICT Industry Association), it is the expectation that the network can grow and help young talents of the industry from numerous positions and companies.

Additionally, it is encouraged to take part in the LinkedIn page, where it is possible to follow the ongoing activities and take part in an informal dialogue with the community.
