Comping Company Awards New Scholarships to Top STEM Students

The Croatian ICT company Comping has awarded scholarships for the second consecutive year to the best undergraduate and graduate students from various STEM fields. Among the fifty applicants, this year’s scholarship recipients are Marko Babić, Robert Jurak, Tomislav Milanović, and Armando Šobot.

– We expect the scholarship recipients to continue being successful students, complete their studies, and join us as soon as possible to start building their future careers, said Alojzije Jukić, CEO of Comping.

In addition to a stimulating financial support of 2000 kuna per month for third-year students, 3000 kuna for fourth-year students, and 4000 kuna for graduate students, which they will receive until the end of their studies, the scholarship students will also become part of the Comping team, giving them the opportunity to experience what it means to be part of a company that bases its operations on the most advanced technologies and the latest trends in the world. Furthermore, during their studies, they will also have the opportunity to complete internships at Comping.

The scholarship model is, as Jukić explains, long-term, and depending on further needs, there is a possibility of increasing the number of scholarships. Currently, Comping is sponsoring seven active students who will join the Comping team within a year or two.

The students will be continuously cared for by top mentors who will organize special lectures for them and assist them in preparing their final theses, and they will also be involved in Comping’s projects and practical work with technologies such as Internet of Things, Cloud, Big Data, CRM, Business Analytics, Business Intelligence, Open Source Technologies, and more.

– This year, a new initiative is that we have launched the Comping Academy for our employees who are involved in two programs. One is intended for individual experts with noticeable development potential, Propero, and the other is Virtus, aimed at our managers who need to devise strategies for their part of the business and participate in defining the strategy and vision of the entire Comping, emphasized Jukić.

Both mentioned programs consist of five modules annually and will last a total of two years.
