DualCertify Industry Needs Survey

Practical Skills in Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Applications and Digitalization

Help us shape practical IT training for future professionals

Dear Sir or Madam,

as part of the German-Czech project DualCertify, Chemnitz University of Technology (TUC) and Jan Evangelista Purkyně University in Ústí nad Labem (UJEP) are developing three practice-oriented micro-credential courses in:

  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Cloud Applications
  • Digitalization

Each course will be delivered as an intensive four-day program. Participants will learn fundamental concepts, explore relevant methods and technologies, complete a small group project, present their results and take a short knowledge assessment.

The courses are intended for students, trainees, graduates and professionals with basic IT knowledge.

Your feedback will help us align the course content with the actual needs of companies and the labor market. Short, practical answers are completely sufficient.

Please note that this survey is not anonymous. The name of your organization and your professional position or role are required so that we can classify the feedback appropriately. Your personal name and contact details are optional.

The survey takes approximately 5–10 minutes.

Thank you very much for your support.

3. Purpose of the processing

This survey is conducted as part of the German-Czech DualCertify project. Its purpose is to identify company requirements for practice-oriented training in Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Applications, and Digitalization.

The collected data will be used in particular to:

  • identify relevant technologies, methods, and professional skills,
  • prioritize the content of the planned four-day micro-credential courses,
  • select suitable business use cases and group projects,
  • document and evaluate the course design and the project's internal needs analysis,
  • contact interested organizations if separate consent has been provided.

Personal data will not be used for advertising or for purposes unrelated to DualCertify.

4. Legal basis

Personal data is processed on the basis of your voluntary consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Participation in the survey is voluntary. Refusing to participate or ending the survey early will not result in any disadvantages for you or your organization.

5. Data processed

The following information is collected as part of the survey:

  • name of the company or organization,
  • country and industry sector,
  • professional position or role of the respondent,
  • ratings and assessments concerning Artificial Intelligence, Cloud Applications, and Digitalization,
  • information about relevant skills, technologies, and business use cases,
  • responses entered in optional free-text fields,
  • optionally provided name, email address, and telephone number for possible follow-up communication.

The name of the organization and the respondent's professional position or role are required in order to classify the feedback. Providing a personal name and contact details is optional.

Please do not enter confidential business information, personal information about other individuals, or special categories of personal data, such as health data, in the free-text fields.

When the survey service is used, technically necessary connection and usage data is also generated. This may include the IP address, date and time of access, browser, and operating system. This technical data is processed by the operator of the survey service in accordance with its own privacy notice. We do not evaluate this technical data as part of the substantive survey responses.

6. Recipients and access to the data

Access to the substantive survey responses is limited to authorized employees of Chemnitz University of Technology who are responsible for the design, implementation, and evaluation of the DualCertify project.

The survey is technically conducted using BPS Survey, the LimeSurvey-based survey service of Bildungsportal Sachsen. The service is provided to Saxon higher education institutions by BPS Bildungsportal Sachsen GmbH.

Non-anonymized survey responses will not be disclosed to other companies, public authorities, or other third parties.

Results may be used within the project, in project reports, presentations, or publications only in aggregated or anonymized form. Personal contact details will not be published, and the presentation of the results will not permit conclusions about individual respondents.

No transfer of personal survey responses to countries outside the European Union or the European Economic Area is intended.

7. Retention period

Personal survey responses and voluntarily provided contact details will be retained only for as long as necessary for course development, internal project evaluation, and any requested follow-up communication.

Personal data will be deleted or anonymized no later than December 31, 2028, so that it can no longer be linked to an identifiable individual, unless statutory retention obligations require otherwise.

Fully anonymized and aggregated results may be retained for the documentation and further development of the courses because they no longer constitute personal data.

8. Voluntary participation and withdrawal of consent

You may withdraw your consent at any time without providing a reason and with effect for the future. The withdrawal may be sent to the project contact listed above or to the Data Protection Officer of Chemnitz University of Technology.

To allow us to identify your response, please provide the name of your organization and, if possible, the approximate date and time of participation.

Following receipt of the withdrawal, your personal data will no longer be processed and will be deleted unless statutory obligations require otherwise. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
