  1. ITSKILLS and EU funds GOOD PRACTICES ON THE EXAMPLE OF WARSAW SCHOOL OF COMPUTER SCIENCE Weronika Jakubowska, Warsaw School of Computer Science, wjakubowska@wwsi.edu.pl

  2. I. Students: Master's degree, specializing in Cloud Computing • Thanks to the funds (1 million EUR) obtained from the program Knowledge, Education, Development, the university had the opportunity to open a specialization adapted to the requirements of the present job market. About 50 students will start their studies in the pilot year. • The program is based largely on AWS AMAZON solutions. The program of studies provides four following thematic blocks within cloud Solutions:The first, biggest block CLOUD COMPUTING IN THE CONTENT OF AMAZON WEB SERVICES. • Good practices: • the program classes particular lectures, exercises and laboratories will be provided by certified experts of particular cloud Solutions exercises- contents partner Cloud Team, coordinator Michał Karski.

  3. II. Students – AWS Foundation trainings Thanks to the funds received, 400 first-year students were provided with free AWS Foundation trainings. The trainings will be repeated in subsequent years and contribute to the growth of advanced digital skills. In addition, 300 students from the last 2 years of study took part in certified training sessions: Systems Operations on AWS‚Developing on AWS,Architecting on AWS,Big Data on AWS. In addition, students who participate in training also take part in study visits to employees, e.g. Intel, Hewleet Packard.

  5. The effectiveness of our projects is assessed by the students themselves. For us as a university, what matters is their later position on the job market. https://lnkd.in/dmgpCHc

  6. III. Secondaryschool students and teachers IT School – massiveOPEN online computer science education program by Warsaw School of Computer Science. IT School Program isan open, massive online educationalvirtualorganizationservingpreciselyidentified and constantlyevaluatedusers' needs, established in closecooperation with them. Usefulness, understood as customizing the level, quality and organization of IT School to students and teachersexpectationsgives the answer to the questionwhy in two and a half yearsitbecame the biggestsuch program in Poland. Themainpedagogicalobjective of the Program is to increase the level of ICT competencies (e-skills) of allsecondaryschoolstudentsregistered in the program. Otheraimsare: popularizebasicknowledge of computertechnology to thosewhoare not interested in ICT, encourage and prepareyoungpeople to study in the field of Information Technologies and thusfacilitate the study of the corecourses in Universities, give the teacherstools for individualized learning with ICT talentedstudents. Program isalso a tool of promotingWarsaw School of Computer Science.

  7. Beneficiaries of the project: • In direct mode: more than 17 000 high school students and 180 computer science teachers from 5 voivodshipsand 200 schools took part. • In online mode: more than 35 000 high school students and more than 400 computer science teachers from across Poland took part. • Total: more than 50 000 students and nearly 600 computer science teachers from secondary schools took part in the project. • Project activities: 22 categories of teaching activities • Project budget: 12 million PLN(3 million EUR)

  8. IV. Activities for people outside the academic community Thanks to the funds obtained from the EU, our university is a center for raising advanced IT competenciesamong various groups including students, adults and people over 50 years of age. Intheyears2009-2019 we organised various kinds of support in the area of advanced digital skills for nearly 4,000 people. THE EFFECTIVE 50+project deserves particular recognition. The project finished on June 30th 2015. The substantive part of the module includes five thematic sub-modules grouped into teaching units, as well as curriculums and lesson plans. Both modules contain advanced issues concerning practical solutions to problems faced by employees who deal with data analysis. The training materials have been prepared so that the user could intuitively acquire their content and thus gain the required knowledge and skills. The oldest participant in the project (an auditor by profession) was 80 years old.

  9. Summary Had it not been for the support from the Structural Funds, the university would nothave been able to support so many target groups and create innovative activities / projects enabling education in advanced IT competencies. Our activities received numerous awards, inludingInformatics Europe Award, 2013 Best Practices in Education Award and The EUNIS DØRUP AWARD 2015.
