The aim of this text is to describe how informal learning influences the career development of women. Answer to the above mentioned question follows from a qualitative study within a research study on the topic: The needs of adults in relation to the building of their careers and how to satisfy these through career counselling and guidance services. Qualitative approach was implemented as biographic research with the use of the life story method. For the purpose of this text, we used a sample of seven women of diff erent ages, the same degree of education, with at least one-year-work experience and with diff erent types of changes in their careers. The data suggest that women learn informally either due to the pressure of a situation or „for the future“. If women learn as a result of the pressure of the situation, informal learning represents a tool for satisfying needs that are perceived as deficit. In fact, these women don´t plan their career development in a long-term perspective and from the point of view of career building, informal learning becomes a tool for changing the current state. In case that women learn for the future, via learning they try to satisfy needs which can be regarded (according to Maslow) as the self-realization needs. These women plan their career development and this is why it is possible to consider informal learning as a direct tool for their career development.

The paper aims 1. to draw attention to the situation in the Czech Republic, where universities „produce“ tens of PhD graduates every year and are little interested in their future; 2. to clarify the term „postdoc“ and introduce research studies that deal with this group of university graduates; 3. to present some information about PhD graduates in the field of educational sciences in the Czech Republic; 4. to discuss the Czech context that influences the employment of postdocs; 5. to summarize findings from abroad about systematic work with postdocs. In the first part we describe the current situation in the Czech Republic and abroad. In the second part we introduce the research study about the number of successful graduates from educational sciences doctoral programmes. The third part focuses on the Czech context that influences the employment of postdocs. The fourth part summarizes the experience from other countries considering systematic work with postdocs. In our research study we found that 549 people successfully completed a doctoral programme in educational sciences in 1999–2011. Systematic work with postdocs has been initiated at three universities (Charles University, Masaryk University, Palackého University) but is at its outset. From the above mentioned it follows that in the Czech context it will be necessary to monitor where postdocs work, to what degree they focus on research, and what their career path looks like. Besides this, it will be crucial (based on experience from abroad) to devise a system that will allow postdocs to follow various paths when it comes to broadening their knowledge and improving their skills.

Contemporary expectations towards employees or job applicants often refer not so much to the demand for specifically defined skills, which may be acquired within the frames of clearly outlined educational paths, but to the flexibility, openness to change, initiative, entrepreneurship, willingness to continuous learning and multidirectional professional development at every stage of an employee’s career. What is more, they also concern strategic, conscious and individual way of creating a career path through taking up actions which let compose a ’portfolio of qualifications’ based on the ’unique resources’ helpful in creating competitive advantage on the labour market. Based on the activities of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) – a worldwide movement – the institution of mediation was introduced to the Polish legal system, thus opening the possibility to practice the profession of mediator. The paper presents basic assumptions concerning the specifics of the mediation method of dispute resolution and with reference to the above mentioned tendencies, powers of mediation have been characterized as: a profession (one of the alternatives to develop the basic, general education, e.g., representatives of social sciences) as well as interdisciplinary subject and practical skills area (interpersonal, communicative) valuable in many areas of contemporary professional activity also among young people.

Współczesne oczekiwania wobec pracowników lub kandydatów do pracy, często odnoszą się nie tyle do zapotrzebowania na konkretnie sprecyzowane umiejętności, możliwe do zdobycia w ramach wyraźnie zarysowanych ścieżek edukacyjnych. Dotyczą raczej elastyczności, otwartości na zmiany, inicjatywności, przedsiębiorczości, gotowości do ciągłego uczenia się i wielokierunkowego rozwoju zawodowego, na każdym etapie kariery pracowniczej, strategicznego, świadomego i indywidualnego budowania ścieżek zawodowych, przez podejmowania działań pozwalających na komponowanie „portfela kwalifikacji” również w oparciu o „unikatowe zasoby” pomocne w budowaniu przewagi konkurencyjnej na rynku pracy. Na kanwie działań światowego ruchu Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), wprowadzono do porządku prawnego RP instytucję mediacji, otwierając tym samym możliwość wykonywania zawodu mediatora. W niniejszym opracowaniu przedstawiono podstawowe założenia dotyczące specyfiki mediacyjnej metody rozwiązywania sporów oraz w nawiązaniu do powyżej zarysowanych tendencji, scharakteryzowano kompetencje mediacyjne ujmowane jako: zawód (jedna z alternatyw na rozbudowywanie bazowego, ogólnego wykształcenia np. przedstawicieli nauk społecznych) i interdyscyplinarny obszar wiedzy oraz umiejętności praktycznych (interpersonalnych, komunikacyjnych) cennych w wielu obszarach współczesnej aktywności zawodowej również młodych ludzi.

It is often assumed (in line with social expectations) that being a business manager and/or owner implies the feeling of omnipotence. Not only do organizational leaders run businesses, but they are also qualified to do so and are well-organized to physically and mentally cope with their duties. Thus, permanent (external and internal) pressure forces key organizational actors to use self-presentation strategies that meet social expectations. Narratives of organizational leaders show that other aspects of their lives are subdued to the sphere of business activities or are even incorporated by it. One of the most dominant strategies is to present oneself as an inner-directed individual in control of one’s career (a “self-made man” or “self-made woman”). At the same time, such an attitude results in “tensions” between irreconcilable roles or activities undertaken in various spheres of life. These tensions are depicted in the paper. The author shows different types of neutralization techniques used by organizational leaders to overcome or mitigate these tensions. Eleven neutralization practices have been outlined. These techniques have been identified in the course of the nearly decade-long research into spatial and temporal dimensions of careers of managers and entrepreneurs.
