Software development, database management and parallel computing are deeply integrated and related technologies. Both types of technology are rapidly evolving and becoming more sophisticated, with resulting subtleties of their interaction learned directly in the workplace. Academic research focusing on developing programs or approaches to professional training in these areas in universities is relatively scarce. This study provides a theoretical background and practical approach to building parallel database programming skills by introducing software developers best practices. The piloting of the proposed approach was attended by 64 third-year IT students in the experimental group, who were involved in 3-month training, with their learning pathway depending on the challenges they faced. Tasks were assigned and checked by instructors. The findings suggested that this approach can help to improve technology proficiency among students in accordance with the recognized professional competence level rather quickly. No one achieved such a result in the control group. The Students t-test showed that the differences in scores between the control and experimental groups were statistically significant. Essentially, the research findings can be used to teach parallel databases and to strengthen ties with graduates potential employers in the corresponding academic programs.
