Do companies in the Czech Republic feel a decline in ICT graduates?

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to determine the possible cause of lagging Czech companies in the field of HR transformation. The basic source of data is data from the Czech Statistical Office. The paper uses the method of classification analysis of graduates in the field of information and communication technologies. The paper is divided into two parts, where the first part deals with the evaluation of tabular data and the second with the testing of the established hypothesis (H0). The number of graduates in the field of information and communication technologies in the Czech Republic has been steadily declining since 2015, although the results achieved so far do not indicate a significant change, which could be the main cause of Czech companies lagging behind in HR transformation. The low involvement of graduates in this field is also caused by older and backward employees in companies, who do not like to change established systems.
