What does it take to start an IT career in the age of AI?
Junior Online Conference 2026: Start Your IT Career in the AI Era is a free online event by EPAM Campus for students, aspiring IT specialists, career changers, and anyone preparing for their first job in tech.
AI is already transforming the way technology professionals work and that is changing what employers expect from junior specialists. Technical fundamentals still matter, but today’s juniors also need to know how to work effectively with AI, evaluate its output, identify mistakes and make informed decisions.
At the conference, you’ll hear directly from EPAM experts and recent EPAM Campus graduates about what employers really look for in junior specialists in 2026. These are not predictions or assumptions about the future. We’re sharing insights based on what we see and work with every day: from hiring and interviewing to learning, onboarding, and working with junior talent.
You’ll learn how AI is changing different IT roles, which skills can help you stand out at the start of your career, how to use AI effectively for learning and work, and what to expect when preparing for technical interviews and your first job.
No guesswork just real-world insights, practical examples, and actionable advice from practicing experts.
