Oualifications and competence of graduates of higher education institutions of Masowa - opinions of college career development agencies

The author is presenting findings of colleges conducted amongst academic career development agencies of the Masovian province as part of the project “Regional foresight for higher education institutions of Warsaw and Masovia «Academic Masovia 2030»” about the demand of employers for determined qualifications and competence of graduates of the college. She is presenting forms of assistance in planning the professional career of students and graduates, offered by career development agencies; problems, with which 1 st and 2nd degree college graduates are reporting to them and factors facilitating the work market penetration for graduates. She is also analyzing fields of cooperation of academic career development agencies with employers, the structure of the demand reported by employers for graduates of higher education institutions and the structure of interest of students and graduates in specific types of job offers. The gathered materiał shows that all graduates (of both second and first degree studies) most often need the help of career development agencies for job finding, internship or trainee-ship, while employers are rather prepared for a less active and involving cooperation, limited to placing job offers on websites and in the database of career development agencies, and to the transmission of information about the company and its needs. The placement is simpler for graduates of public colleges who finished full-time studies, especially in the Computer or technical profile. Graduated-women have much greater problems in finding their first work than men.
