Digitalization of Education and Connection With the Labor Market

The digitalization of education is transforming access to study, which also positively affects the labor market, where digital skills are increasingly in demand. The COVID-19 pandemic changed educational methods and emphasized the need for adaptation to technological changes for both students and employees. Collaboration between educational institutions and employers is crucial for the development of relevant skills that prepare graduates for the future requirements of the labor market. Governments and schools should support digital literacy and ensure equal access to educational resources so that all segments of the population can benefit from the advantages of digitalization. This synergy between education, employers, and technologies represents a cornerstone for building a resilient and competitive economy that can efficiently respond to dynamic changes in the digital age.

How can we ensure accessibility to digital education for all students regardless of their socioeconomic status? What skills and competencies will be needed from the perspective of the future labor market? How can we support and motivate teachers to integrate digital technologies into teaching and the development of their own digital skills? In what way should cooperation between educational institutions, the state, and the private sector take place to ensure the effective transfer of skills from the educational system into practice in the labor market?
