"UI Design Academy was really important for me, because it opened a new door in my design career. It introduced me to UI design, which was completely new to me, and helped me learn a lot of new skills. It was challenging but in a good way, pushing me out of my comfort zone to grow. I would recommend the academy to anyone who wants to get into tech design, even if you come from a different design field. It’s a great way to grow and learn new skills and also meet new friends."

"Coming into the Recruiting Academy at Povio with a psychology background and no prior experience in hiring, I wasn’t sure what to expect - but it turned out to be one of the most valuable learning experiences I’ve had. The program broke down every stage of the recruitment process in a way that was both clear and hands-on - from writing job descriptions to interviewing candidates and collaborating with Povio’s in-house recruiters. Instead of dry theory, we focused on real skills I could start using immediately. The mentors created a supportive, open environment that made it easy to ask questions and stay engaged."
