iCarnegie, the technology arm of Carnegie Mellon University, announced plans to open an IT training center in what is now developing as Innopolis, an ‘innovation city’ outside of Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, an autonomous republic of the Russian Federation.
The international educational and training facility will reportedly have the capacity to train as many as 5,000 IT specialists and business managers a year for both regional and national IT projects.
The new university is already expected to start enrolling students by next year.
Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) is a private university and research center headquartered in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania, US. It is regarded as one of the world’s best campuses to train specialists in computer science. iCarnegie and its partners are said to have trained almost 150,000 students in more than 20 countries, along with more than 1,000 trainers.
Innopolis, a widely-publicized innovation town near Kazan, Tatarstan’s capital, broke ground this past June. The future city will have an estimated population of 150,000, including about 60,000 IT workers.
