Key findings from the report:

  • Digital exclusion among seniors – up to 40% of people aged 60+ struggle with basic computer use. The solution? Intergenerational workshops and dedicated educational applications.
  • Cyber hygiene for everyone – experts emphasize the need for mandatory cybersecurity training in companies and public administration. As part of best practices, they propose the creation of:
  • Simulations of real threats that teach practical responses to cyberattacks,
  • Educational games that combine learning with entertainment.
  • Professional retraining – instead of narrow specialization, the report recommends modular training programs and micro-certifications to facilitate entry into the job market.

Collaboration is the key to success: Public-private partnerships and cooperation with local governments can help fill the skills gap where it is most evident. An example of this could be local educational and informational centers that connect expert knowledge with the needs of society. The result? Poland has the opportunity not only to prepare for its presidency in the EU Council but also to become a leader in building a resilient, digital society.
