Theoretical study and practical work have so many difference. Students learn theoretically in their educational institute. but what about the practical? There are many institutes teach hands-on computer programming but these courses are payable. That's the main reason behind the workshop Bangladesh Open Source Network(BdOSN) organizes. We organize workshop on Dig Data, Artificial Intelligence, Computer Programming etc.
BdOSN career talk is a one-day open seminar for everyone. We started it on 2016. There was 4 BdOSN career talk last year 2016. All the speakers talk on the seminar are those who work on ICT. They share their experience on ICT career. All the participants ask questions to the speaker and they answer all the questions. Participants of the seminar get a clear concept about ICT career.
PILOT is Placement Internship Learning dOing Training. What we do is who finished their study or about to finish graduation we help them to find an institution for the internship. If any student goes and ask for doing internship he won't be noticed but if any organization do that on the half of the student it will be more noticeable. That's what we do. We place students for internship and they learn by doing.
