Course at a Glance
Key details for planning your training programme.
What is the 21st Century Skills in the Workplace Course?
21st century workplace skills help people respond when tasks, technology and expectations change.
They include critical thinking, creativity, communication and collaboration, supported by digital judgement and a habit of learning. Participants examine evidence before reaching conclusions, generate options for a problem and explain their recommendations clearly.
For organisations in the Czech Republic, these skills apply across departments, branches and regions, from Prague and Brno to regional sites, and across onsite and remote teams. The two-day programme combines individual reflection with team practice, including evaluating online information and AI-generated content.
Communication
Listen actively and explain ideas for the audience and channel.
Collaboration
Agree responsibilities and work constructively across differences.
Critical Thinking
Check evidence and assumptions before reaching a conclusion.
Adaptability
Adjust priorities, seek feedback and build a learning habit.
Digital Judgement and AI Awareness
Assess online information and review AI output before using it.
Is This the Right Course for Your Team?
A quick check against what this programme does and does not set out to do.
A strong fit if your team needs to:
- Make decisions when information is incomplete or conflicting
