To be successful in the workplace of the future, people will need to have the right digital education. Whether in school, at university or on the job – the digital transformation that is under way is making IT skills more important every day. Digital media are also creating new opportunities for digital learning. I am confident that our company will be able to meet the challenges of digitalization and take advantage of the opportunities it presents, but we will need a comprehensive approach. 

Digital transformation is underway. People working for start-ups are not the only ones who need digital skills – increasingly, industrial workers in plants, staff in administrative positions and managers of banks need to be adept in the digital realm as well. Our educational system and, in particular, the way we learn and teach must therefore be adapted for this era of digitalization. This is true for all educational levels – from primary school to vocational schools and universities to continuing education. 

A digital education will allow people to continue to participate in social life in a self-determined manner in the future. In addition, digital education will ensure that companies remain competitive. Simply put: Industry 4.0 needs education 4.0. With the digital transformation, we must radically alter both how we learn and what we learn. This is because digital skills have become a fourth key competency alongside reading, writing and arithmetic.
