About the SCHO
SCHO (ЩО?) is Xpand's free annual knowledge-sharing initiative that opens up the world of Microsoft technologies to students, career switchers, and tech newcomers across Ukraine.
Timeline
The goal
SCHO/ЩО? was created in 2018 as an initiative built around one simple but powerful idea: knowledge becomes more valuable when it is shared.
Inspired by the principles of Xpand’s founder, Sergii Chernenko, SCHO/ЩО? brings together people who want to learn, discuss ideas, explore technology, and understand how modern digital solutions can be used in real life.
Over the years, the initiative has grown from business conferences and partner events into educational webinars, consultations, and practical learning formats.
The key idea
The main idea behind SCHO/ЩО? is knowledge sharing. Since 2018, the initiative has been built around the belief that useful experience should be shared with those who can apply it in their own growth, education, business, or future career. This idea was inspired by Xpand’s founder, Sergii Chernenko, and remains an important part of Xpand’s culture today.
Who it is for
SCHO/ЩО? is designed for students, junior specialists, developers, testers, business analysts, career switchers, entrepreneurs, and everyone who wants to understand Microsoft technologies better. It is especially valuable for those who are looking for their direction in IT or want to see how technology is used in real projects.
What participants learn
Participants learn about Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central, ERP systems, Microsoft 365 technologies, automation, business processes, development tools, testing, AI trends, and real project logic. The focus is not only on theory, but also on practical examples that show how modern solutions are created and used by businesses.
Why it matters
SCHO/ЩО? helps people see technology as something practical, accessible, and connected to real opportunities. For students and beginners, it can become the first step toward a career in the Microsoft world. For business professionals, it helps understand how Microsoft solutions can improve processes and support growth. For Xpand, it is a way to continue sharing knowledge, supporting Ukrainian talent, and building a stronger technology community.
