Summary/Abstract: IT companies often criticized universities they do not provide adequate practical training of students. The universities reply they cannot prepare students to use so many technologies for three or five years. Universities emphasize long term education rather than training in short term IT skills. In spite this universities understand the needs of the companies and involve into their curriculums different forms of education giving a practical experience. The aim of this paper is not to give the right solution how to improve practical skills of the students. This paper is aiming at presenting some examples of delivery of real experience and to draw attention to the main problems. Each university has its own specifics and has to find its own way how to do this.
