ŠKODA AUTO signs MoU to establish non-profit educational institute ‘42 Prague’
› From summer 2022, the institute will be preparing up to 450 up-and-coming programmers for the jobs of the future

› Unique training concept promotes lifelong learning and social skills
Mladá Boleslav, 11 November 2021 – In collaboration with other partners, ŠKODA #auto is supporting the establishment of a non-profit programming institute in Prague. ŠKODA #auto Board Member for People & Culture, Maren Gräf, and Christian Schenk, Board Member for
Finance and IT, signed a letter of intent along with Sophie Viger, CEO of ‘École 42’. The unique teaching concept does not rely on professors or a fixed schedule of lectures but on practice-oriented learning and the ‘principle of gamification and peer learning‘.
Christian Schenk, Board Member for Finance and IT explains, “With the establishment of 42 Prague, ŠKODA #auto is actively pursuing its transformation from a traditional car manufacturer to a software-oriented company. We are stepping up the pace of digitalisation and, with the non-profit #educational institute 42 Prague, we are creating the ideal prerequisites for first-class training of top-motivated IT specialists.”
Maren Gräf, ŠKODA #auto Board Member for People & Culture, adds, “Comprehensive training in IT is one of the most important competencies for the success of the digital transformation. 42 Prague will offer practical, in-depth training that will enable us to develop highly qualified junior staff in the field of software. At the same time, as one of the largest private-sector employers in the
country, we are committed to further strengthening the Czech Republic as an international high-tech location.”
