How companies approach the development of digital skills today, and why does IT education no longer mean simply attending a single course? These questions were discussed by Jitka Sotonová, OKškolení Manager, in a podcast and article for HR News.
In recent years, the way companies approach the development of IT competencies has been changing. Technologies are evolving faster than ever, which is why organizations are increasingly looking for more systematic approaches to learning. Instead of one-off training sessions, long-term learning paths are emerging that combine individual courses, certifications, and practical experience.
“Today, IT education is no longer an isolated activity. It is part of a broader company strategy – and it involves HR, management, and the teams themselves,” says Jitka Sotonová in the interview.
Professional certifications also play an important role. They allow IT specialists to demonstrate their expertise in an environment where skilled professionals are in short supply and technological demands continue to grow. At the same time, certifications help companies systematically develop the key competencies they need for future growth.
The interview also covers several other current topics, including:
Today, the development of digital skills is no longer limited to IT specialists. Cloud services, data analytics, and AI-powered tools are becoming part of everyday work across many industries. Companies that want to keep pace with technological development therefore need to think about IT education for broader teams across different roles – from specialists to managers.
