The digitisation of society and the automation of many processes bring new opportunities and new types of jobs. The number of people employed in IT is constantly growing. However, employers in all EU countries are announcing a growing shortage of IT specialists in software development that educational institutions cannot meet.
FITPED (Future IT Professionals EDucation) is a consortium of universities and SME organisations whose goal is to find effective procedures, methods and models enabling students to receive highly specialised knowledge as efficiently as possible. The consortium focuses on areas of the labour market that permanently show a shortage of specialists. To make the educational process more efficient, it implements elements in education that require constant activity and the student’s involvement in activities throughout the entire process.

Virtual learning environment Priscilla (PeRsonalIzed System for interaCtIve Learning and Learning Assistance) – https://priscilla.fitped.eu, was developed to cover educational needs. This system constantly expands within the implemented projects and allows technological coverage of new and modern approaches to provide educational content.
