At Hyverr, we move every day in the world of modern technology, automation, and digital solutions. That's precisely why we're well aware that the digital world isn't equally accessible and understandable to everyone. Access to technology, hands-on experience, and people from the industry can significantly shape how a young person imagines their professional future. Sometimes a single concrete experience, one project day, or one short internship is enough for a student to realize that IT isn't a distant world, but something they can genuinely step into. This is where responsibility in IT begins for us – with who we open the door to.
For several years now, we've been working closely with Prof. Zdeněk Matějček Secondary School in Ostrava-Poruba, which has long focused on students with various educational needs, including students on the autism spectrum, with specific learning disabilities, or with other support needs. This partnership is one of the concrete and visible ways we at Hyverr think about responsibility toward our community. Not as a one-off marketing activity, but as a long-term partnership with real, practical impact.
For the past several years, Jakub Vaňhara from our team has been regularly visiting the school, where he leads project days for students in their 3rd and 4th years. The main topic is automation and robotics in UiPath.
Within a few hours, students build a simple, working automation themselves. They install UiPath, create their own accounts, and go through the first practical steps. It's not just a theoretical demo or presentation – it's real work with a tool that's used in practice every day.
What's also important is that the UiPath Academy platform is completely free. After the project day, students know that if the topic interests them, they can continue on their own, learn at their own pace, and potentially earn a certification that holds real value on the job market.
Our main goal is to give students genuine contact with technology and show them that they have access to the same tools as anyone else – regardless of the path they take in their education. That, for us, is responsibility in IT in practice.
Alongside the project days, selected students also complete month-long internships with us. They come to Hyverr every working day for roughly 7 hours and gradually take on tasks based on their interests and abilities.
The internships are led by David Šupák , and our aim is always to find work that is genuinely meaningful for each individual student. Some come with an interest in web design, others are drawn primarily to software testing or working with databases.
Students don't just get a general idea of how a modern IT company works. They get a real opportunity to try concrete work, go through the brief, the solution, and detailed feedback. At the end of the internship, we send the school an evaluation report, which serves as a basis for their academic assessment.
This year marks our third year in a row. And we're glad to see that interest from students themselves is gradually growing. Some apply directly, without a recommendation from the school, because they heard about the internship from their classmates.
Not because we have to. But because we believe that companies in the IT sector can – and should – contribute to the education of young people. For us, responsibility in IT means doing things no one requires, but which make sense.
Technology changes quickly and constantly, and schools often don't have enough capacity to keep up with all the tools currently used in practice. That makes the role of people from the industry all the more important – people who open up new possibilities for students beyond the regular curriculum.
Our heartfelt thanks go especially to Ing. Jana Martinásková, Mgr. Richard Mráček and the entire school team. It's their energy, careful organization, and willingness to go the extra mile that gives students access to opportunities that can meaningfully shape where they go next.
Our role is to support that effort in concrete ways: with time, knowledge, experience, and open doors.
Because for us, responsibility in IT isn't just about technology. It's about who we can help take the next step thanks to it.
