Educated Workforce

The Czech Republic combines an outstanding level of general education with strong science and engineering disciplines. Technical education in the Czech Republic has a long tradition and enjoys a strong reputation around the world. The availability of technically educated graduates at a fraction of the cost of western labour creates a perfect environment for both manufacturing and R&D-oriented companies. About one-third of Czech students study economics, finance or IT. According to the last Eurobarometer survey, 80% of Czechs are able to speak a foreign language (predominantly English or German).
