HNET, an Odoo Gold Partner from Honduras, and the Universidad Jose Cecilio del Valle’s collaboration has proven to be the perfect example of how the combination of academic knowledge and hands-on experience can boost the development of talent in the technology sector. Thanks to this alliance, Aishly, an UJCV student, has been able to use her knowledge of Odoo in a professional environment. She has gained rich experience that showcases the advantages of teaching ERP platforms like Odoo to new generations.
HNET and UJCV: Collaborating to Promote Local Talent
As an Odoo Gold Partner, HNET has stood out for its commitment to the professional training of new generations. The company decided to work with UJCV and incorporated Aishly in their internship program. This decision brought benefits to the student and HNET’s team. The company said, “it is always important to collaborate on the professional development of new generations, especially when the job market has so few people that know how to use the tools that Odoo offers particularly in the development area”.
Thanks to her solid knowledge base in Odoo, the experience of working with Aishly was extremely positive. Facing the work environment for the first time was a challenge, but her academic background allowed her to adapt quickly. A clear example of her contribution was the development of an approval module for the Purchase area. This module included the creation of a hierarchical four stage flow in just two weeks. These types of contributions highlight the advantages of working with students that already know Odoo’s functionalities.
A Fulfilling Learning Experience
Aishly pointed out that her knowledge of Odoo gave her a strong base to tackle professional challenges. Although programming in Odoo turned out to be different from what she’d learned in class, her previous experience helped her understand the development environment quickly. “My experience in Odoo had a positive impact”, she explained, and highlighted that, during her internship, she was able to apply her expertise on real projects; for example, with her own abilities she was able to design a module to manage a gym.
Furthermore, Aishly emphasized the growing need for professionals trained in this ERP platform and encouraged other UJCV students to specialize in Odoo. Her experience shows that Odoo is not just a tool for business management, but it is also an open door towards new opportunities in the job market.
The Impact of Academic Collaboration: Shaping Talent Specialized in Odoo
HNET commented that “it is extremely important for universities to start these collaborations with high end systems that are always at the forefront of new technologies, like Odoo.” Aishly mentioned that this collaboration allows students to obtain experience in a high-demand area, equipping them with technical and practical skills.
HNET and Aishly’s recommendations are clear: both universities and companies should be open to these collaborations. HNET considers that these alliances help both, the educational institutions and the job market. Aishly also highlighted that these initiatives allow students to get involved with real-life projects, which enhances their professional training and prepares them effectively for their future careers.
ERPs’ Future in Education and Professional Development
The usage of ERP systems like Odoo in an educational environment has a promising future. HNET considers that universities should look to integrate these high-end systems to their study programs, as they can give students a competitive advantage inside of the job market. Aishly also sees a bright future for Odoo in education, as this tool not only teaches business management, but also prepares students to fulfill the sector’s needs.
Without a doubt, the collaboration between Odoo, HNET, and UJCV is a success story that shows how strategic alliances can help the training of highly qualified professionals in technology and ERP solutions, which benefits students and companies that are looking for specialized talent.
