Companies that require soft skills, such as communication skills, co-operation, conflict resolution, and so on. and hard skills, which, in fact, already include a certain aspect of digital skills in all disciplines. There is no need for everyone to become a programmer, but it is necessary that anyone who wants to engage effectively in society on both a personal and a working level has to a certain extent "computational thinking", ie IT like thinking.

The lecture will draw on the content of a study prepared for the Vysočina Region.
