Sažetak
Today’s ICT (Information and Communication Technology) industry is a very propulsive and challenging area, with constantly increasing expectations related to business performance, high quality of products and innovation. To enable a sustainable ecosystem that can support such expectations we require competent employees ready for a life-long learning and capable of dealing with continuous change. The article analyzes the current business environment and trends with respect to the need of constant knowledge development and adopting new ways of working. It points out the main human, business and professional/technical competences that are needed to support a development environment within ICT industry. The competence development is analyzed taking into consideration what an employee who starts working brings from a university and what steps need to be taken in order to make a newcomer operative in an ICT working environment. A particular emphasis is put on the shortest possible timeframe within which this has to be accomplished. The technical competence is the essence of what students gain during the study programs at technical universities and the Bologna Process opens additional skill and knowledge requirements that can support a faster involvement of newcomers in an industrial working environment. The article also touches upon some ongoing activities undertaken in the Research and Development Center in Ericsson Nikola Tesla in cooperation with local technical universities at building a more competitive and competent workforce and taking into consideration the concepts on which the Bologna Process is based.
