How the IT industry and the education system in Slovakia can be mutually helpful
In his lecture, Emil Fitoš discusses the relationship between the education system in Slovakia and information technologies, as perceived in two different levels. Primarily he deals with the IT industry need for educated and qualified labour force. We assess the projects that have been performed in this field as well as those planned.

The lecturer specifically emphasises the verified methods and procedures, including engaging employers in the teaching process preparation.
