Škoda IT
Our IT department knows very well that what is advanced today will be outdated tomorrow. That’s why we constantly develop new and better solutions.
IT work is built on unique projects. Whether it's the development of electric vehicles, where we continually push the boundaries of the automotive industry, or work with virtual reality, where we are among European technological leaders. The footprints of Škoda IT can be found in almost every department—from technical development to production, sales, and employee care.
Technical Development
From the first sketch to the final tests. That’s how we would summarize the work of technical development, which plays a crucial role in the creation of every new Škoda Auto model.
At the heart of the department are teams of passionate professionals dedicated to each phase of vehicle development. Whether it’s the initial brief, planning, design, concept development, or the final crash tests and various trials, we always use the most advanced methods and technologies.
Engineering
This department is responsible for ensuring the smooth production of every vehicle. It all starts with the logistics of materials, parts, and components and ends with their assembly. But that’s not all. We design and implement new technologies to bring vehicle electronics to life, transfer insights from extensive analyses into car assembly, or even into a new paint shop. We pride ourselves on using the best technologies and continuously create new positions that cover a wide range of opportunities across various fields.

Stories from Škoda IT
Dividing solutions into good and bad? That approach doesn’t work in IT
Letting students learn from one another. Encouraging them to find solutions that can have practical applications. And through workshops, mentoring, and internships, showing them how they can apply their newly acquired knowledge beyond school – for example, at Škoda Auto. The non-profit educational institute 42 Prague differs significantly from traditional universities, as hinted by the motto on its website: “No classes, no tuition, no limits.” So how do students at 42 Prague actually learn? What do internships or mentoring look like here? We asked Martin Hořenín, who supports the collaboration with 42 Prague on behalf of Škoda Auto.
42 Prague: Where IT journeys begin and advance
Iryna explains that 42 Prague is open to anyone interested in IT, whether they want to sharpen their technical skills or grow in areas like presentations and teamwork. The student body is a mix of recent high school graduates, university students, seasoned IT professionals, and even people from completely different industries seeking a fresh start. Iryna Hradilová ensures that the extensive collaboration between Škoda Auto and 42 Prague runs smoothly – whether it’s internships, mentoring, or individual events. "Through this partnership, we aim to support students in their development while also showing them why Škoda is an attractive employer. We want them to choose us as the company where they complete their internship and, ideally, where they’ll want to work in the future," Iryna begins to tell.
From media to IT? Why not?
A few years ago, he was writing about technology for various magazines; today, he works with IT every day. At 39, Štěpán Beneš decided to make a major career shift, leaving the world of non-profit organizations and media to enter the field of IT. His first steps in this transition were guided by 42 Prague, an educational institution established by Škoda Auto in 2022. It emphasizes project-based learning and peer-to-peer education—a model where students learn from each other. As Štěpán himself says, studying at 42 Prague was a time investment that definitely paid off.
