Description

The project is a response to a large and growing market demand for professionals who can successfully carry out the digital transformation of organizations. Undoubtedly, the strongest catalyst for such a demand is the current pandemic situation, which has caused companies to move their operations to the electronic market space. This could only be done by those organizations that were preprepared in this regard and launched activities leading to the digitization of business processes and the opening of online communication channels. Another factor is the development of ICT technologies (Data Science/Big Data, Industry 4.0), which provide new opportunities. The aim of the project is to improve the quality of education and adjust the educational offer to market requirements by developing a canvas for a personal business model for the Digital Transformation Leader position, 3 programs: specialties, postgraduate studies and training, as well as a guide with tools supporting the implementation of the developed programs in the on- line. The final recipients of the results will be the universities themselves implementing the developed programs, teachers and students implementing the programs. The project will involve 3 mobilities for learning and exchange of experiences (2 in PL, 1 in ISL). The academic teachers involved in the project (8 teachers) will take part in each mobility. Additionally, as part of the last workshop, it was planned to test the program among a group of 15 Polish students. Universities and training institutions will be able to use lesson plans, e-learning courses and the methodology of conducting online classes, which will affect the quality of teaching and better adapt education programs to the needs of the economy. The implementation of an innovative study program at UITM will affect the quality and effectiveness of education (increase in the level of employment of graduates), and, consequently, in building a competitive advantage of the university.
