Digitization in the construction industry has become a reality, and universities have incorporated it into their curricula. There is currently a high percentage of workers in the construction sector who are not familiar with the digital processing of documentation. The Institute of Technology and Business in České Budějovice responded to this demand with a research project of intergenerational education, which is being tested in a large construction company. Research results so far show that construction companies can be helped to educate their workers by guiding the sharing of skills and competences. The paper deals with testing of intergenerational sharing of IT competences in construction production. Testing the managed transfer of IT competences brings a new dimension to the education process that will enable accelerated adaptation of staff to new conditions. It will help companies to reduce their training costs and enable targeted training for a specific worker. The role of the university is in the professional guarantee of the transferred competences and the management of their transfer process. The article brings experience with this new educational methodology.
