Abstract

The dynamic nature of the ICT field makes it extremely difficult and challenging for educators to determine what skills and technologies are continuously pertinent and in-demand. Therefore, a frequent evaluation of critical skills supply and demand is necessary for education programs to stay relevant and effectively teach state-of-the-art skills. The main aim of our ongoing research project is to analyze how the current educational curricular guidelines address the requirements for competences of modern ICT workplaces in Poland and Norway, and thus, prepare the academia to adequately respond to the challenges imposed by the industry. The goal is to produce a general framework and models for future curriculum guidelines, and course planning and design, as a step towards workforce development that possess skills relevant for the future challenges of the modern ICT workplace environments.
