Good bye FS.TO, EX.ua, and Torrents.net.ua?

UA Internships

Ukrainian students have a chance to win an internship in one of the global tech giants – Microsoft, Twitter, Facebook, or Google. The program has been initiated by the Ukrainian IT specialists working in the Silicon Valley, Bohdan Kulynych, Arsen Kostenko and Danylo Fitel. They claim that Ukrainian students have little chances to gain the right for the internship in these companies. Therefore, there should be appropriate CV and interesting projects.

Potential interns will have to take serious preparations to an interview and have upper intermediate English level.
