"Low-code and no-code represent the future of enterprise application development, optimizing processes, costs and resources. Above all, they make it possible to overcome the chronic shortage of STEM profiles. However, the rapid diffusion of these systems places the need for companies to introduce resources with the skills suitable to operate on these technological platforms. And it is in this scenario that the Junior Talent Program launched by Experis Academy, Microsoft Italy and University of Naples Federico II can provide a crucial contribution to training of specialized profiles capable of promoting the digitization and competitiveness of companies” he declared Claudia Cattaneo, head of Experis Academy.

Thanks to this initiative with Experis Academy and Federico II University, we can make a concrete contribution to reducing this important gap and support the development of our country,” he said Marcello Marchetti, Sr Partner Technology Manager of Microsoft Italy.
