I recommend Udemy course rock the jvm scala programming for beginners. This course helped me a lot when I started to learn Scala. The advanced course is great too, btw ;) Another great source of information for beginners is the book Programming in Scala by Bill Venners and Martin Odersky

Please ignore all the guys that are recommending books. Those are terribly boring and slow for starting with a new language and paradigm. I'd start with This course https://www.udemy.com/course/rock-the-jvm-scala-for-beginners/
The guy is awesome, you can complete it in less than a week and you'll practice a lot. Check out other courses of the same author.
Once you feel comfortable writing simple apps in Scala you can start with the books but just to consult some specific stuff. I think everybody who's recommending computing books for learning a language they're just showing off, they don't even read them 😆

Might be a good starting point.

I'm learning Scala in my spare time because a local company I admire uses it. I'm coming from a mostly Java background, with some university experience of Haskell. My plan is to learn the language and several of the tools in the company's stack, then use them in a personal project that I can list on my CV when I apply.
I've seen some of their roles listing Akka HTTP, http4s, Play, Akka Streams, Spark, Kafka, Kubernetes and Terraform.
Any suggestions for learning materials? I'm currently working through Scala and Functional Programming for Beginners on Udemy, although I am considering switching to Oderky's Scala Coursera specialisation and/or textbook (Programming in Scala 3e).
