The Epoch Times published an article on Portnov Computer School

Today we were answering lots of calls generated by an article published in "The Epoch Times" (Chinese newspaper). I am not even able to tell you what it says since I cannot read Chinese. The reporter promised to send me the translation in English but I do not have one yet.

I think the article is kind of appealing to readers - we've got tens of calls today. 3-4 people even stopped by to talk.

Before the collapse of the Internet bubble, in 1999-2000 the school had about one third Chinese students, one more third - Indians, and the remaining third - Russians. Somehow the end of the Internet boom impacted dramatically the focus of the Chinese community in what is a good enough choice for a career change minded person. Definitely it was nos IT field, which is being outsourced overseas. So far outsourcing does not influence our job market much - the demand is pretty good.

I really hope we can bring back Chinese students, show them the perspective, the attractiveness of the Software Testing career.
