Anotation:

This paper provides an analysis of university graduates at ICT specialist market and analysis of the skills required by ICT professionals when entering the ICT labour market in the Czech Republic. The university graduates analysis is focuses on universities effective in the ICT education area and compares their study programs (203 programs – 2006, 195 programs – 2009) with requirements of businesses (1002 businesses). It describes typical “product” of Czech education process in the area of ICT skills. General conclusions show that majority of graduate bachelors (at about 85 %) in the Czech Republic do not have knowledge profile to enter business as qualified employees without expensive additional training. At master level the same applies for at about 40 % of graduates. Results from our research confirmed positive trends in education of IS/ICT at universities in the Czech Republic. This is valid for both types of study program (bachelor and master study program). Through results we find out, that the distance between the student’s knowledge and business requirements are smaller. This could be cause for example by advances in the study programs structures and courses that are provided in selected study programs. The second survey has provided to us also information which universities provide graduates with knowledge the best fitted to the companies’ requirements. These “best universities” have been assigned through data mining procedures to the cluster MgrA09.
