IMPACT OF UNIVERSITY DEGREE ON THE LABOR MARKET IN SLOVAKIA

A knowledge-based economy is one of the most effective ways for a country to move forward in a strong competitive environment. Generally speaking, the development of the country includes high-quality human resources as an efficient, flexible, well-trained, professionally creative and accessible workforce. In Slovakia, over the last decade, the number of university graduates has grown to a large extent. High school students continue to pursue their studies with great expectations, hoping to find a better job and faster career growth after graduation. Unfortunately, young people tend to learn more from less demanding disciplines, pedagogy, andragogy, social work, prestigious law and medical science. Studying the more demanding sciences such as mathematics, physics, chemistry, electrical engineering is of minimal importance. Therefore, we have is large the demand after such graduates on the labour market today. Currently, learning opportunities are almost unlimited. If students who want to continue studying in college have chosen the appropriate field of expertise they want to deal with in the future, they should also find the right university. What is the basis for choosing a student university if you have already found the right area for yourself? We think a possible answer to the question can be hidden in the post-university opportunities or the opportunities given by the University.
