The results of two surveys conducted among Belarusian students and among the young employees in Minsk are presented. The purpose of the article is to identify how students and young employees evaluate their digital competencies in mastering digital technologies, and to study youth motivation when mastering technical innovations. The results obtained can be used to develop activities and programs aimed at improvement of the quality of labour and the educational activities.
