HR Generalist Course: HR and Recruitment

During five months of intensive training, I have established key skills in HTML/CSS, JavaScript (ES6+), React, as well as working with modern development tools and frameworks. During the course, I developed several practical projects: an adaptive landing page, an interactive JavaScript application and a React application with dynamic functionality. Separately, I would like to note the friendly atmosphere in the group and the mentorship of Ivan Vasylenko, who explained complex technical concepts in a simple and accessible way.

I recently defended a graduate project on the HR Generalist in IT course at Beetroot Academy — and it was one of the most effective trainings in my experience. After several years of teaching English for HR, I wanted to get a deeper understanding of the very essence of HR: people development, business empowerment through teams and communication. The direction of Learning & Development responded the most. Thank you, Maria Smiyukha and Nastya Ivanytska for their professionalism, practicality and generosity in knowledge.

It was a truly wonderful period filled with practice, useful tasks, team discussions and ongoing support. I gained valuable knowledge and tools that made me stronger and more confident as a project manager. Thank you very much to our team — you are incredible. And special thanks to our mentor Yaroslav Kalugin — for his knowledge, inspiration and clear explanations of complex topics.

I am happy to announce that the curriculum at Beetroot Academy is completed! It was an incredibly cool experience that helped me systematize knowledge and delve into topics that previously seemed difficult. I am very grateful to teachers Victoria Yakovleva and Elena Chernyshenko for your absolutely sincere desire to transfer the maximum of your experience and knowledge. It was more than just work for you, I felt good about it!

A place where you want to return again and again. Beetroot Academy is not just courses, it is a space for people and about people. In short, do not waste energy, time and money on other “courses” - here you will get everything you need. Beetroot is a real community where a new stage of life begins from the first minute: understanding yourself, your path and the profession you want to do. After training from QA to PM, I realized that it was thanks to Beetroot that I got not only knowledge, but also work, confidence and faith in myself.

Beetroot Academy I completed the IT Management course and received my diploma. But two weeks have passed, and I already miss the course, the instructor, the interesting program, and the teaching style. Everything about these courses was interesting. If you happen to be studying IT Management, ask to join Alexey Kravchenko's group. I assure you, you will enjoy the training. Interesting teaching, useful practical advice, tremendous experience, lively communication.

The pandemic forced me to rethink my career — I realized that I needed a job with a flexible schedule. On the advice of a friend, I chose Front-end at Beetroot Academy. Despite the war and a pause in my studies, the course fully met my expectations thanks to a talented teacher. When my job search was taking too long, the teacher offered me additional training in Angular and work on his projects. For six months, I combined working in a warehouse during the day with programming at night. This experience was key to getting a position at eWawe.

After losing my job during the pandemic, I realized it was time to change fields. Remembering my love for photography and image processing, I decided to try UI/UX design. At Beetroot Academy, I was impressed by the small group learning format, where the teacher shared real-life cases and gave personal attention to each student. Thanks to the practical knowledge I gained during the course, I quickly found my first projects. Now I am working on four projects at the same time and really enjoy my work.

When I took the HR Generalist course at Beetroot Academy, I didn't expect to come out of it with a diploma, a job offer, new friends, and a baggage of knowledge that is truly applicable in the real world, not just on paper. This training was a spontaneous decision, she wanted to change the field of activity with the thought: “What if I light up in HR?” Special thanks to Elena Chernyshenko and Victoria Yakovleva for their support throughout the journey, boundless patience and faith in their students.

It was a truly valuable experience that gave me new tools and helped me rethink some of my approaches to work. The key insights I gained were: a more structured approach to analyzing funnels and user behavior, systematic testing of creatives and hypotheses, clearer methods for evaluating the effectiveness of marketing activities, and the use of analytics as a basis for decision-making. I would like to thank the course instructor, Yevgeniy Tesla, for the structured content, real-life examples, and practical focus.
