Survey, national level

Czech

The main goal of the study is to look at the further education from the employers´ perspective, to find out required structure of knowledge and competencies expected from science subject graduates, as well as perspectives for graduates that employers can offer on the field of professional growth and financial growth of the individual.

Because the outcomes of many surveys show that one of the main motivation for further education of people is their position at the labor market, we assume that this perspective is very useful one. Outcomes of this research show that the level of education is the crucial one, together with the ability and willingness of graduates to continue in LLL process. Education institutions are criticized that their teaching methods are not connected with the practical aspects of subjects; the participation of the professionals from the field would be welcomed. The study presents many other interesting outcomes and recommendations.
