Uwarunkowania rynku pracy a absolwenci kierunków inżynieryjno-technicznych

Abstract

The modern labour market is characterised by instability and unpredictability. In the face of the changes taking place on the market, new forms of the market are appearing, which also require more and more extensive competences of employees. The changing market reality was the motive for trying to identify competences and professions that will be sought after in the future labor market and to pay attention to adaptation of the education process to the changes taking place. The analysis of the literature shows that there are discrepancies in the labor market between the expectations of employers in relation to qualifications and competences in relation to the hard and soft skills possessed by the university graduates. Deficits of employees are also noticed, especially in the technical sectors, but this is a variable phenomenon in time and space. The subject of the undertaken research was the analysis of the labor market conditions of the Małopolska and Podkarpackie voivodships in the context of the employment of graduates of technical faculties.
