EBS, kood/Johvi join forces to offer new opportunities in IT, business education

Estonian Business School (EBS) and the programming school kood/Johvi have started a collaboration to offer their students new opportunities in the fields of IT and business education.

The first joint project will offer kood/Johvi alumni the opportunity to obtain a bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurship from EBS in just two years. A year later, EBS students will have the opportunity to receive programming education at kood/Johvi.

The aim of the cooperation between EBS and kood/Johvi is to create educational innovation, adopt innovative teaching methods and experiment with new technologies. According to the schools, students will be offered a unique opportunity to diversify and future-proof their learning paths.

“Knowledge of business management and technology are skills that complement and enhance each other perfectly. Our goal is to offer technology and business enthusiasts the best of both worlds, which is why collaboration with EBS is a clear strategic choice for kood/Johvi. This cooperation allows kood/Johvi graduates to carry forward their work into a degree program, and in the future, EBS’s curricula will include technology education components from the kood/Johvi program,” Lauri Haav, CEO of kood/Johvi, said.

From fall 2024, kood/Johvi alumni are welcome to continue their studies in the bachelor’s program at EBS, where they can obtain a bachelor’s degree in entrepreneurship and business management in just two years. From fall 2025, EBS undergraduate students will be able to specialize in software development in cooperation with kood/Johvi.

EBS alumnus and co-founder of kood/Johvi Martin Villig said that Estonian technology companies urgently need employees with programming and business management knowledge. These skills are also essential for starting one’s own company. Villig said he hopes that the collaboration between EBS and kood/Johvi will give new impetus to the success story of Estonian technology entrepreneurship, as it allows combining programming skills with the knowledge needed by entrepreneurs and business leaders.

“Great things are born out of collaboration. A significant part of Estonia’s startup success stories is related to the creation of innovative digital platforms and services. Meaningful companies are born and grow when entrepreneurs, developers, and designers who share similar values come together. An entrepreneur does not need to be a developer, and a developer does not need to be an entrepreneur. An entrepreneur must know how to work with developers, designers, and increasingly with scientists. This is what we at EBS learn and teach daily with our partners. I believe that the collaboration between EBS and kood/Johvi will significantly contribute to the continuation of the success story of Estonian digital entrepreneurship in the coming years,” Mart Habakuk, chancellor of EBS, said.
